Though the shootings took place four years ago, they still stir passionate argument at the University of North Carolina and in Chapel Hill, in part because it seems the case won't go away. Just last week a judge upheld the $500,000 jury award to the killer, Wendell Williamson, now 30. But that decision will be appealed, and other lawsuits are pending.
