STATE v. NORRIS

No. 106.

279 S.E.2d 570 (1981)

STATE of North Carolina v. Elsie Juanita NORRIS.

Supreme Court of North Carolina.

July 8, 1981.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Rufus L. Edmisten, Atty. Gen. by Isaac T. Avery, III, Sp. Deputy Atty. Gen., Raleigh, for the State.

Herbert L. Hyde, Asheville, Atty., for defendant-appellant.

HUSKINS, Justice:

Defendant has posed numerous questions for review. We find it necessary to address only one of them, viz: Whether the trial court erred in its charge on self-defense. We conclude there was error in this respect which entitles defendant to a new trial.

Murder in the first degree is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice and with premeditation and deliberation. G.S. 14-17; State v. Wrenn, 279 N.C. 676
