Episode 44: Wise, Havens, and Moore

In this episode, Hyde and Holbrook discuss three cases decided by the North Carolina Court of Appeals in June 2026. In State v. Wise, No. COA25-683 (N.C. Ct. App. June 3, 2026), the Court of Appeals found no violation of the confrontation clause when the testifying expert reviewed and approved a toxicology report. In State v. Havens, No. COA25-592 (N.C. Ct. App. June 17, 2026), the Court of Appeals upheld the defendant’s convictions for secret peeping and sexual exploitation of a minor. And in State v. Moore, No. COA25-1049 (N.C. Ct. App. June 17, 2026), the Court of Appeals concluded the trial court did not err by admitting evidence of a separate instance of the defendant’s fleeing to elude arrest.
