/

In this episode, Hyde and Holbrook discuss three cases decided by the North Carolina Court of Appeals on July 2 and July 16, 2025. In State v. Upchurch, No. COA24-460 (N.C. Ct. App. July 2, 2025), the Court of Appeals found no error in the denial of the defendant’s motion to sever her trial for murder and child abuse from that of her co-defendant. In State v. Venable, No. COA24-707 (N.C. Ct. App. July 2, 2025), the Court of Appeals found no error in the trial court’s admission of an expert witness’s retrograde extrapolation of the defendant’s blood alcohol content. And in State v. Moore, No. COA24-899 (N.C. Ct. App. July 16, 2025), the Court of Appeals held the trial court erred, albeit not prejudicially, by admitting the testimony of a Drug Recognition Expert.
