In this episode, Hyde and Holbrook discuss three cases decided by the North Carolina Court of Appeals on February 18, 2026. In State v. Cooke, No. COA25-527 (N.C. Ct. App. Feb. 18, 2026), the Court of Appeals vacated the judgment where the trial court proceeded without first determining that the defendant’s capacity had been restored. In State v. Villareal, No. COA25-219 (N.C. Ct. App. Feb. 18, 2026), the Court of Appeals found no error in the trial court’s instructing the jury on the aggressor doctrine when the evidence showed that the defendant shot the victim in the back as he was fleeing. And in State v. Sanchez, No. COA24-644 (N.C. Ct. App. Feb. 18, 2026), the Court of Appeals reversed the defendant’s convictions for contributing to the abuse of a juvenile and failing to discharge the duties of his office.
