1. “In the case at bar, the verdict sheet lists the proper file number for the case, and the proper charges listed are consistent with the evidence presented at trial and with the court's instructions. The transcript and exhibits are replete with references to defendant by name, Jan C. Gilbert. After the verdict was returned, the jury was polled, and each juror affirmed his or her vote that defendant was guilty. We do not perceive that the error in the verdict form resulted in any prejudice to defendant. This assignment of error is overruled.”

2. “[Bjecause the detention was only to await hearing before the “first available judge,” defendant was not exposed to double jeopardy for the kidnapping charge. Similarly, we hold that the judge’s order requiring defendant to remain in custody until 2:00 p.m. as a condition of defendant’s release pursuant to section 15A-534.1(a) does not give rise to double jeopardy.”
