Judge grants new trial for Mark Carver in murder case
Mark Carver, who has spent over eight years asserting innocence, won a new trial after Superior Court Judge Chris Bragg granted a second chance to prove he did not kill 20 year old Ira Yarmolenko, a UNC Charlotte student, in a 2011 case. The ruling was welcomed by Chris Mumma of the North Carolina Center on Actual Innocence, who represented Carver.
