State v. Sills

Supreme Court of North Carolina

Decided July 6, 1984No. 589A83PublishedCited by 37 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

MITCHELL, Justice.

Through several assignments of error, the defendant contends that the trial court erred in denying a motion for a bill of particulars and a motion for a dismissal of the charge because of the State’s failure to set forth in the indictment the specific date of the offense charged. The defendant also contends the trial court erred in allowing certain testimony to be admitted into evidence and in declaring the eight-year-old victim competent to testify. Having reviewed the assignments of error raised by the defendant, we find no error.
