Legal Opinion

State v. Ogles

Court of Appeals of North Carolina

Decided September 18, 2018No. COA18-210Published

1Opinion of the Court

DAVIS, Judge.

Brandon Dale Ogles ("Defendant") appeals from his convictions for felonious breaking or entering and attaining the status of a habitual felon. On appeal, he argues that the trial court (1) committed plain error by permitting an officer to testify regarding Defendant's "mug shots"; and (2) erred by failing to intervene ex mero motu during the prosecutor's closing arguments. After a thorough review of the record and applicable law, we conclude that Defendant received a fair trial free from prejudicial error.
