State v. Adams
Supreme Court of North Carolina
State v. Adams, 90 S.E.2d 383 (N.C. 1955)
243 N.C. 290; 1955 N.C. LEXIS 567
Per Curiam
State v. Adams
Opinion
Precisely the same error was made in the trial of this case as was made in S. v. Carter, ante, 106: the trial court did not instruct the jury what the legal effect of a recommendation of life imprisonment would be, as required by statute, G.S. 14-17. For the reasons given in S. v. Carter, a new trial is necessary. It is so ordered.
New trial.
