55 N.C. App. 265

State v. Ingram

Court of Appeals of North Carolina

Decided December 15, 1981

Court of Appeals of North Carolina · decided 1981-12-15

Decided 1981-12-15

WEBB, Judge.

¶1The defendant assigns error to the court’s allowing the jury to examine the exhibits in the jury box while a guilty plea was being taken. He contends that the taking of a guilty plea engendered an atmosphere of guilt finding in the courtroom which was prejudicial to the defendant. We cannot so hold. There is nothing in the record to show that the traffic case in which a guilty plea was accepted in any way related to the case upon which the jury was deliberating. We cannot conclude the jury heard anything which would affect their deliberations.

¶2We have examined defendant’s other assignments of error and find them to be without merit.

¶3No error.

Judges Martin (Robert M.) and Wells concur.
