697 S.E.2d 504 (2010)

STATE of North Carolina v. Khuram Ashfaq CHOUDHRY.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

August 17, 2010.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Attorney General Roy Cooper, by Special Deputy Attorney General Melissa L. Trippe, for the State.

Rudolf Widenhouse & Fialko, Chapel Hill, by M. Gordon Widenhouse, Jr., for defendant-appellant.


STEELMAN, Judge.

The statement of a co-defendant who absconded prior to trial was not admissible under a hearsay exception where there was no corroborating evidence to support its admission. Where the State did not offer any portion of the co-defendant's statement into evidence, it did not "open the door" to the admission of the statement. Defendant waived any possible conflict of interest on the part of his trial attorney.
