STATE v. WORTHAM

No. 749SC685.

208 S.E.2d 863 (1974)

23 N.C. App. 262

STATE of North Carolina v. Colonel Lee WORTHAM.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

October 16, 1974.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Atty. Gen. James H. Carson, Jr., by Asst. Atty. Gen. Ralf F. Haskell, Raleigh, for the State.

Watkins, Edmundson & Wilkinson by C. W. Wilkinson, Jr., Oxford, for defendant appellant.


PARKER, Judge.

Defendant initially assigns error to the trial court's allowing the district attorney to ask what the defendant contends were leading questions. Whether to permit counsel to ask leading questions is a matter within the sound discretion of the trial judge, and his exercise of that discretion will not be disturbed on appeal absent a showing of abuse. State v. Peele, 281 N.C. 253, 188 S.E.2d 326
