Description

By his first two assignments of error defendant challenges the district attorneys decision to place him on trial for a capital crime, and the validity of the bill of indictment charging him with that offense. These assignments require little discussion in view of the holding of the Supreme Court of the United States in Woodson v. North Carolina, 428 U.S., 49 L. Ed. 2d 944, 96 S. Ct. 2978 (1976), invalidating the death penalty provisions of G.S. 14-17. This decision did not affect the verdict however; only the imposition of a sentence of death. Hence, capital punishment is no longer an issue in this case. State v. Davis, 290 N.C. 511, 227 S.E.2d 97 (1976).
