State v. Daughtridge, ___ N.C. App. ___, 789 S.E.2d 667 (Aug. 2, 2016)

Applying the Daubert standard, the court held that the trial court improperly allowed a medical examiner to testify that the victim’s death was a homicide, when that opinion was based not on medical evidence but rather on non-medical information provided to the expert by law enforcement officers. However, the error did not rise to the level of plain error.
