The only assignment of error brought forward by the defendant is the failure of the court to charge on self-defense. She contends that the evidence that she was suffering from the battered woman syndrome entitled her to such a charge.

*291The defendant concedes that State v. Norman, 324 N.C. 253, 378 S.E.2d 8 (1989), is contrary to her position. She asks us to overrule Norman.

The arguments the defendant advances as to why evidence that she suffered from the battered woman syndrome entitles her to a charge on self-defense were answered in Norman. We see no reason to change our position.

NO ERROR.
