/

In this episode, Hyde and Holbrook discuss three cases decided by the North Carolina Supreme Court on December 12, 2025. In State v. Calderon, No. 238A23 (N.C. Dec. 12, 2025), the Supreme Court applied the distinct-interruption test and found sufficient evidence to support three separate convictions for indecent liberties with a child. In State v. Allison, No. 103PA24 (N.C. Dec. 12, 2025), the Supreme Court held the trial court plainly erred in its instructions on the castle doctrine. And in State v. Ford, No. 31A24 (N.C. Dec. 12, 2025), the Supreme Court found sufficient evidence of common law obstruction of justice in the defendant’s destruction of a document sought by law enforcement.
