Court of Appeals of North Carolina December 29, 1972, 7226SC673 (State v. Brice)

GRAHAM, Judge.

Defendant brings forth and argues fourteen assignments of error.

The first, third and fourth assignments of error relate to the admission of certain testimony over objection. A lay witness characterized the gunshot wound suffered by deceased as a “nasty” wound and stated that the gun was fired so close to deceased that the pellets did not have a chance to spread.
