State v. Heard

Per Cueiam.

On Christmas morning 1963 defendant shot Edna Reid in her home with a shotgun inflicting a wound which caused the amputation of her right arm.

Defendant has brought forward and discussed in his brief two assignments of error. He first assigns as error that the prosecutrix Edna Reid was permitted by the court, over his objections, to testify to this effect: Defendant said nothing to her at the time he shot her, but that two weeks before he shot her he told her he was going to kill her. This evidence of threats was competent and properly admitted in evidence. S. v. Church, 231 N.C.…
