1. “While we recognize the merit to the State's position, this Court has applied plain error review to similar evidentiary challenges involving unpreserved constitutional claims. See, e.g., State v. Jones , 216 N.C. App. 225 , 229-30, 715 S.E.2d 896 , 900-01 (2011), appeal dismissed and disc. review denied , 365 N.C. 559 , 723 S.E.2d 767 (2012); State v. Mohamed , 205 N.C. App. 470 , 474-76, 696 S.E.2d 724 , 729-30 (2010). In cases where we have declined to do so, our Supreme Court has remanded for plain error review. See, e.g., State v. Bean , 227 N.C. App. 335 , 336-37, 742 S.E.2d 600 , 602, disc. review denied , 367 N.C. 211 , 747 S.E.2d 542 (2013). Accordingly, we must examine the evidence that was before the trial court to determine if it committed plain error by allowing the admission of the challenged evidence.”
