In this episode, Hyde and Holbrook discuss three cases decided by the North Carolina Court of Appeals on December 3, 2025. In State v. Kleist, No. COA24-677 (N.C. Ct. App. Dec. 3, 2025), the Court of Appeals found insufficient evidence of aiding and abetting child sex crimes and felony child abuse. In State v. Allen, No. COA25-336 (N.C. Ct. App. Dec. 3, 2025), the Court of Appeals concluded the trial court did not err by admitting expert testimony on historical cell-site handoff analysis. And in State v. McKoy, No. COA25-195 (N.C. Ct. App. Dec. 2025), the Court of Appeals held the trial court erred by sentencing the defendant for felony possession of marijuana when the trial court instructed the jury only on misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
