<bold>1. Search and Seizure § 20 (NCI4th) — conspiracy to commit</bold> <bold>murder — telephone records — admissible</bold> The trial court did not err in a prosecution arising from defendant hiring someone to kill her former husband and assault a woman whom he was dating and from an attack being carried out on the former husband by admitting telephone records which showed telephone calls from defendant to a coconspirator testifying against her. Assuming standing under the North Carolina Constitution, defendant failed in her burden of showing sufficient action attributable to the State which would implicate the constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure. The records were originally recorded in the usual course of Southern Bell's business and not under some State directive, there is no subpoena in the record, and defendant's argument that sufficient action attributable to the State exists because the State called a Southern Bell employee to testify about and produce the records at trial was rejected. <bold>Am Jur 2d, Evidence §§ 601, 646</bold>.<page_number>Page 655</page_number> <block_quote> <bold>Interest in property as requisite of accused's standing to</bold> <bold>raise question of constitutionality of search and seizure.</bold> <bold><cross_reference>4 L.Ed.2d 1999</cross_reference></bold>.</block_quote> <bold>2. Evidence and Witnesses § 1789.1 (NCI4th) — conspiracy to</bold> <bold>commit murder — mention of polygraph by witness — no</bold> <bold>mistrial</bold> The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant's motion for a mistrial in an prosecution resulting from defendant's attempt to hire someone to kill her former husband and a woman he was seeing where the person who was hired, testifying for the State, offered to take a polygraph test. The offer was unintentionally elicited by defendant after intense cross-examination and during a trial revealing inconsistencies in the witness's testimony, the trial court allowed the defendant's motion to strike the statement and immediately instructed the jury to disregard the statement, and the court further asked the jury if they could in fact disregard the statement, to which they answered in the affirmative. <bold>Am Jur 2d, Evidence §§ 1007-1009</bold>. <bold>3. Conspiracy § 32 (NCI4th) — solicitation of assault with a</bold> <bold>deadly weapon inflicting serious injury — no evidence of</bold> <bold>how injury to be inflicted — sufficient only for</bold> <bold>misdemeanor assault</bold> The evidence was sufficient only for the lesser included offenses of conspiracy and solicitation of misdemeanor assault in a prosecution for conspiring and soliciting an assault upon the woman defendant's former husband was seeing where there was no evidence of how the co-conspirator was to inflict the severe injury on the victim. To hold a defendant liable for the substantive crime of solicitation, the State must prove a request to perform every essential element of the crime; the crime of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury requires that the State produce evidence that a deadly weapon was used in the assault. Contrary to the State's argument, the mere fact that the defendant asked the co-conspirator to inflict serious injury on the victim does not necessarily imply the use of a deadly weapon because serious injury can be inflicted without the use of a deadly weapon. However, in finding the defendant guilty of the charges of solicitation and conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, the jury necessarily found the<page_number>Page 656</page_number> facts establishing the crimes of conspiracy and solicitation of misdemeanor assault. <bold>Am Jur 2d, Conspiracy § 29</bold>.
