State v. Rollins, 226 N.C. App. 129 (Mar. 19, 2013)

The trial court properly admitted an unavailable witness’s testimony at a proceeding in connection with the defendant’s Alford plea under the Rule 804(b)(1) hearsay exception for former testimony. The court rejected the defendant’s argument that the testimony was inadmissible because he had no motive to cross-examine the witness during the plea hearing.
