State v. Black
Court of Appeals of North Carolina
1Opinion of the Court
GEER, Judge.
Defendant Patricia Ann Black appeals from judgments entered on her convictions of various sex offenses involving three alleged victims. On appeal, she primarily contends that the trial court committed plain error in allowing one of the State’s expert witnesses to give testimony improperly vouching for the credibility of one of the prosecuting witnesses. Although we agree that admission of certain portions of the testimony was error, we hold that defendant has failed to demonstrate sufficient prejudice to establish plain error.
