In this episode, Hyde and Holbrook discuss three cases decided by the North Carolina Supreme Court on Oct. 17, 2025. In State v. Chemuti, No. 282PA24 (N.C. Oct. 17, 2025), the Supreme Court ruled that defendants cannot compel the production of body camera footage and other recordings in the custody of law enforcement agencies by subpoena. In State v. Rogers, No. 377PA22 (N.C. Oct. 17, 2025), the Supreme Court concluded that there is a good faith exception to any exclusionary rule arising under the state constitution. And in State v. Wilson, No. 307PA23 (N.C. Oct. 17, 2025), the Supreme Court held that step one of the Batson analysis is not moot simply because the prosecutor volunteered race-neutral reasons for peremptory challenges.
