Description
On remand by order of the Supreme Court of North Carolina filed 25 June 1999 to reconsider the unanimous decision of the Court of Appeals, State v. Harris, 132 N.C. App. 134, 517 S.E.2d 427 (1999) (unpublished table opinion) in light of the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Lilly v. Virginia, 527 U.S. 116, 144 L. Ed. 2d 117 (1999). Appeal by defendant from judgment entered 26 February 1997 by Judge Quintin T. Sumner in Nash County Superior Court was originally heard in the Court of Appeals 16 November 1998. Heard on remand 3 January 2000. Defendant was convicted of first-degree murder pursuant to the felony murder rule, first-degree kidnapping, conspiracy to commit murder, and robbery with a dangerous weapon. The trial court sentenced defendant to life imprisonment for murder, 144 to 182 months for kidnapping, and 480 to 585 months for conspiracy. On appeal to this Court, the conviction and sentence were affirmed in an unpublished opinion. The North Carolina Supreme Court allowed discretionary review ""for [the] limited purpose of remanding to NC Court of Appeals for reconsideration in light of Lilly v. Virginia."" On remand to this Court, parties were ordered to file supplemental briefs addressing the Lilly issue -- that is, whether admission of certain inculpatory statements by an unavailable co-defendant violated defendant's confrontation clause rights. We find no prejudicial error in defendant's conviction.
