Carson, an Athens, Ga., native who came to UNC as a Morehead-Cain scholar, was shot and killed in a robbery during the early-morning hours of March 5, 2008.<\/p>\n<p>A federal judge in Winston-Salem ordered Atwater to pay $212,947.10 in restitution. In addition, Atwater must enter a substance-abuse program and undergo a psychological examination. <\/p>\n<p>Atwater has 13 days to appeal the sentence.
