Episode 40: Perry, Friend, and Whitt

In this episode, Hyde and Holbrook discuss three cases decided by the North Carolina appellate courts in March and April 2026. In State v. Perry, No. 64PA24 (N.C. March 20, 2026), the Supreme Court found sufficient evidence to withstand a defendant’s motion to dismiss the charge of armed robbery. In State v. Friend, No. COA25-908 (N.C. Ct. App. April 15, 2026), the Court of Appeals found sufficient evidence to withstand a defendant’s motion to dismiss the charges of accessing a government computer to defraud and obtaining property by false pretenses. And in State v. Whitt, No. COA25-516 (N.C. Ct. App. April 1, 2026), the Court of Appeals found sufficient evidence that the defendant absconded to warrant revocation of his probation.
