State v. Adams
State v. Adams
90 S.E.2d 383; 243 N.C. 290; 1955 N.C. LEXIS 567
(South Eastern Reporter, Second Series)
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.
