No. 782SC231.

246 S.E.2d 152 (1978)

37 N.C. App. 356

STATE of North Carolina v. William COX.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

August 1, 1978.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Atty. Gen. Rufus L. Edmisten, by Asst. Atty. Gen. Elisha H. Bunting, Jr., Raleigh, for the State.

Wilkinson & Vosburgh, by James R. Vosburgh, Washington, for defendant appellant.


WEBB, Judge.

Defendant contends the second trial on accessory after the fact to armed robbery charges violates the principles of double jeopardy and the joinder of offenses statute, G.S. 15A-926, and thus it was error for the trial court to deny his motions to dismiss. We do not agree with defendant. In support of his argument that a second trial would offend double jeopardy protections, defendant relies on Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U.S. 436
