Other examples of how NC justice operates (sited in a post at Talk Left)
(another Neff article, btw)

http://www.newsobserver.com/635/story/386638.html

some samples :

"Gell, who was sentenced to death in 1998 for the murder of a retired truck driver in Bertie County. Late last year, a Superior Court judge ruled that David Hoke and Debra Graves of the state Attorney General's Office withheld witness statements indicating that the murder occurred while Gell was in jail. They also failed to reveal a tape recording of the state's star witness saying she had "to make up a story" to tell police."

"Jonathan Hoffman, whose lawyers have filed an appeal that shows that prosecutors in Union County hid deals with their star witness. The witness's testimony cut his prison time by at least 15 years and put several thousand dollars into his pocket."

"Charles Munsey of Wilkesboro, who won a new trial in 1999. In that case, Wilkes County District Attorney Randy Lyon withheld evidence that the state's star witness, a jailhouse informant, was never in the prison where Munsey supposedly confessed to him."
