In the Matter of B.E., 186 N.C. App. 656 (2007)

Held: 
Remanded

The trial court erred by making conflicting statements regarding which standard of proof it applied to the adjudication of delinquency. The adjudication order “found beyond a reasonable doubt” that the juvenile “violated G.S. 14-202.2 by clear, cogent, and convincing evidence.”  Because the trial court must unequivocally state the standard of proof in its order pursuant to G.S. 7B-2411, the Court of Appeals remanded for clarification.
