No. COA99-437.

527 S.E.2d 700 (2000)

STATE of North Carolina v. Stephen Clay JONES, Sr.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

April 4, 2000.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael F. Easley, Attorney General, by Francis W. Crawley, Special Deputy Attorney General, for the State.

Office of the Appellate Defender, by Anne M. Gomez, Assistant Appellate Defender, and Malcolm Ray Hunter, Jr., Appellate Defender, for the defendant-appellant.


WYNN, Judge.

This appeal arises from the defendant's conviction of first degree murder of his wife. He presents several issues challenging the fairness of his trial including the admission of hearsay evidence, an instruction to the jury on the defense of unconsciousness or automatism, the admission of character evidence and the ineffective assistance of his counsel. We find no prejudicial error in his conviction.

Stephen Clay Jones, Sr. and Frances Riggs Jones...
