State v. Johnson, ___ N.C. App. ___, 795 S.E.2d 126 (Dec. 20, 2016)
In this assault inflicting serious injury case, the evidence was sufficient for a bulletproof vest sentencing enhancement. The victim testified that when he punched the defendant’s chest, it felt padded; the victim told two police officers that both attackers wore bulletproof vests; and when the defendant’s vehicle was stopped after the shooting, a bulletproof vest was found on the floor where the defendant was sitting.
