State v. Bridges
Supreme Court of North Carolina
1Opinion of the Court
PER Cubiam.
Ben Grantham’s testimony positively identified defendant as one of the participants in the robbery charged. Mr. Merritt testified, “I think he (defendant) is the man that did it.” His “lack of positiveness” as to the identification of defendant went to the weight and not to the admissibility of the testimony. State v. Church, 231 N.C. 39, 55 S.E. 2d 792; Stansbury, N. C. Evidence § 129 (2d Ed. 1963). Defendant’s assignment of error based upon an exception to this evidence cannot be sustained.
Defendant’s defense was alibi. All the evidence tends to show a completed robbery…
