State v. Carvalho, 243 N.C. App. 394 (Oct. 6, 2015)

aff’d per curiam, 369 N.C. 309 (Dec. 21, 2016)

The State’s closing arguments did not require the trial court to intervene ex mero moto. With respect to comments regarding 404(b) evidence, the State did not ask the jury to use the evidence for an improper purpose. To the extent that the State referred to any improper evidence, the references were not so grossly improper that the trial court should have intervened on its own motion.
