State v. Cannon

Court of Appeals of North Carolina

Decided October 18, 2016No. COA15–1272Published

1Opinion of the Court

INMAN, Judge.

Mark Wayne Cannon ("Defendant") appeals from a judgment entered upon a jury verdict finding him guilty of felonious breaking or entering a place of worship. On appeal, Defendant contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion to dismiss the charge. Defendant also argues that the trial court committed plain error in failing to instruct the jury on the lesser-included offense of misdemeanor breaking and entering. After careful review, we hold that Defendant received a fair trial, free from error.
