...Deputies said the incident happened at a house on Woodfield Drive and Eller Road just before 6 a.m. Saturday. Davidson County Sheriff David Grice said 30 to 40 people were attending a party at the house that started the night before. Both Chisom and Craver had been at the party, Grice said....

Words fail me. This is so horrific. I hope this guy never sees the light of day again. :furious:

I know this isn't anyone's fault but the defendant's, but why was a 17 year old girl out at 6am?
 
:( My goodness, what an awful way to pass. Prayers to the family. Why did this kid do this?
 
Wow, what ugly actions. This poor girl, I have to agree on the question of why she was out all night.

Leeza McCarthy, a spokesperson part of the Division of Patholoy at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said Chisom died of a "massive laceration to the liver."

This is so tragic! My God, how hard did he throw that paver????

It sounds like her friends took her to the hosptial right away.

ETA:

BBM. After reading some comments at this article, it looks like her friends DIDN'T take her to the hospital right away or even call the police until later. http://www.topix.net/forum/source/myfox8/TN8MPNHSVBMGT5EPE

BBM. This article has some interesting comments from a poster named "mother of a 2011 senior" http://www.topix.net/forum/source/myfox8/TN8MPNHSVBMGT5EPE
 
From March 2011:

http://www.journalnow.com/news/loca...cle_48bf5866-5187-50eb-985f-59e64accb15a.html

When detectives told him that Shelby had died, Craver shrugged his shoulders. "Okay. And?" Craver responded, according to Assistant District Attorney Alan Martin...

But after pleading guilty Monday to second-degree murder, Craver, who was a rising senior on an athletic and academic scholarship at Mars Hill College, apologized for causing Shelby's death in the early morning hours of Aug. 7. Shelby died from internal bleeding after her liver was cut in half...

Judge W. David Lee of Davidson Superior Court sentenced Craver to 12 years and three months to 15 years and six months in prison.
