State v. Glenn, 221 N.C. App. 143 (Jun. 5, 2012)
The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the defendant’s motion for a mistrial made after three law enforcement officers, who were witnesses for the State, walked through the jury assembly room on their way to court while two members of the jury were in the room. The trial court had found that the contact with jurors was inadvertent and that there was no conversation between the officers and the jurors.
