State v. Baldwin, 240 N.C. App. 413 (Apr. 7, 2015)
The trial court did not abuse its discretion under Rule 403 by admitting the defendant’s recorded interview with a police detective. Noting that the fact that evidence is prejudicial to the defendant does not make it unfairly so, the court concluded that the evidence’s probative value was not substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.
