STATE v. BROOKS

No. 786SC79.

245 S.E.2d 564 (1978)

37 N.C. App. 206

STATE of North Carolina v. William BROOKS.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

July 11, 1978.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Atty. Gen. Rufus L. Edmisten by Asst. Atty. Gen. James L. Stuart, Raleigh, for the State.

A. S. Godwin, Jr., Roanoke Rapids, for defendant-appellant.

MITCHELL, Judge.

The defendant's sole assignment of error is directed to the trial court's refusal to instruct the jury on the law of self-defense. In support of this assignment, the defendant argues that his evidence tended to show self-defense as a matter of law. We do not agree.

The defendant refers us, inter alia, to State v. Hickman, 21 N.C. App. 421, 204 S.E.2d 718
