State v. Vinson

HUSKINS, Justice.

A prospective juror stated on her voir dire examination that under no circumstances and regardless of the evidence would she return a verdict of guilty if it meant imposition of the death penalty. She was excused for cause, and defendant assigns error on that ground.

There is no merit in this assignment. The juror was properly excused for cause. State v. Monk, 286 N.C. 509, 212 S.E. 2d 125 (1975) ; State v. Ward, 286 N.C. 304, 210 S.E. 2d 407 (1974) ; State v. Honeycutt, 285 N.C. 174, 203 S.E. 2d 844 (1974); State v. Crowder, 285 N.C. 42, 203 S.E. 2d 38 (1974).
