In this episode, Hyde and Holbrook discuss three cases decided by the North Carolina Court of Appeals on August 6, 2025. In State v. Jenkins, No. COA24-889 (N.C. Ct.

App. Aug. 6, 2025), the Court of Appeals found no error in the trial court’s refusal to give an instruction on the defense of justification to possession of a firearm by a felon.
