In this episode, Hyde and Holbrook discuss three cases decided by the North Carolina Court of Appeals on March 4, 2026. In State v. Barbour, COA24-664 (N.C. Ct. App. Mar. 4, 2026), the Court of Appeals held the State presented sufficient evidence contradicting the defendant’s castle doctrine defense to warrant denial of the defendant’s motion to dismiss. In State v. Hollis, COA25-239 (N.C. Ct. App. Mar. 4, 2026), the Court of Appeals found insufficient evidence to support the defendant’s conviction for keeping or maintaining a dwelling for the keeping or selling of controlled substances. And in State v. Hunt, COA23-890-2 (N.C. Ct. App. Mar. 4, 2026), the Court of Appeals vacated the defendant’s habitual felon sentence when his habitual felon indictment did not allege three sequential and nonoverlapping prior convictions.
