State loses appeal in Mark Carver murder case of UNC Charlotte student
A Superior Court judge was within his rights to grant a Gaston County man a new trial in the 2008 death of a UNC Charlotte student, according to a ruling Tuesday by the state Court of Appeals.
The unanimous ruling by the three-judge panel could mean that District Attorney Locke Bell will be forced to decide as early as next month whether to try Mark Bradley Carver again for the killing of Irina Yarmolenko or dismiss the first-degree murder charge against him.
Carver, 52, spent more than eight years in prison after a Gaston County jury convicted him in 2011 of first-degree murder in the death of Yarmolenko, a 20-year-old college student.

It’s James Jordan’s name and son Michael Jordan’s fame that will bring audiences to imdb.com’s “Moment of Truth,” but the docuseries has little to do with them.
The five-part documentary, which began streaming Friday on the Amazon-owned website best known as a resource for TV and movie credits, is really about justice, incompetence, inconsistencies and allegations of corruption.
The elder Jordan, a murder victim not long after his sonâs third NBA title with the Chicago Bulls in 1993, is soon enough an afterthought.
So, too, is Jordan after a retelling of his well-worn basketball origin story, reminders of how close he and his dad were and a clip of the superstar telling Oprah Winfrey in â93 that he didnât want to know the killersâ rationale.
