STATE v. HELTON

No. 8512SC816.

339 S.E.2d 814 (1986)

STATE of North Carolina v. Howard Wesley HELTON.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

March 4, 1986.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Atty. Gen. Lacy H. Thornburg by Asst. Atty. Gen. Walter M. Smith, Raleigh, for the State.

Acting Appellate Defender Malcolm Ray Hunter, Jr. by Asst. Appellate Defender David W. Dorey, Raleigh, for defendant-appellant.


MARTIN, Judge.

Defendant's contention on appeal is that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions for second degree burglary under the instructions submitted to the jury by the trial court. He argues that the State failed to present evidence to show that he actually committed a breaking and that the trial court did not submit instructions with respect to his guilt under the theory of acting in concert. We find merit in defendant's argument.
