Griffin, 5 N.C.App. 226, 227, 167 S.E.2d 824, 825 (1969).For a jury to have found defendant guilty of second-degree murder while acquitting him of first-degree murder, there must have been some evidence in the record which might suggest a lack of premeditation or deliberation. All of the evidence tends to show that defendant had the intent to kill Raynor, along with premeditation and deliberation.

  3. State v. Ruiz

    185 S.E.2d 300 (N.C. Ct. App. 1971)

    State v. Partlow, 272 N.C. 60, 157 S.E.2d 688. Technical error alone will not entitle defendant to a new trial; it is necessary that the error be material and prejudicial and amount to a denial of some substantial right. State v. Turner, 268 N.C. 225, 150 S.E.2d 406; State v. Griffin, 5 N.C. App. 226, 167 S.E.2d Defendant's second contention is that the bill of indictment charging him with the possession of burglary tools fails to set forth facts sufficient to constitute a criminal offense.

  4. State v. Harris

    183 S.E.2d 864 (N.C. Ct. App. 1971)   Cited 4 times
    In State v. Harris, 12 N.C. App. 576, 183 S.E.2d 864 (1971), this court held that it was not prejudicial error, even though the trial judge had incorrectly informed the defendant of the total maximum punishment he could receive for the crimes to which he pleaded guilty and also failed to inform him that he could be fined.

    Although the trial judge incorrectly stated the maximum imprisonment and failed to inform the defendant that he could also be fined, the defendant has failed to show how he was prejudiced by such failure. See State v. Griffin, 5 N.C. App. 226, 167 S.E.2d 824 (1969). The record affirmatively shows that before the imposition of the sentences and after questioning the defendant under oath, the trial judge found as a fact, among other things, that the defendant had informed the court that he had been fully advised of the maximum punishment for the offenses charged and that he was guilty of the offenses charged.
