In this episode, Hyde and Holbrook discuss three cases decided by the North Carolina Court of Appeals on December 17, 2024. In State v. Reel, COA23-711, the Court of Appeals rejected the defendant’s challenge to a warrantless search of his home based on exigent circumstances. In State v. Carwile, COA23-885, the Court of Appeals concluded that the defendant was not entitled to a Castle Doctrine instruction after pursuing the intruder to an adjoining lot and there beating him to death. And in State v. Stollings, COA24-138, the Court of Appeals remanded for additional findings where the trial court’s order denying the defendant’s motion to suppress did not resolve pertinent questions of fact.
This episode covers recent case law developments on plain feel doctrine, probable cause, and pill bottles, constructive possession, failure to store firearms to protect minors, and THC-O.
