You sir are a complete idiot.
N.C.G.S. 4-1 States that the Common Law is in force. That does not mean that all common law is codified.
Tell me Internet Lawyer, Define Common Law Robbery In North Carolina, I will give you the Statute, problem is, the Statute only specifies the Punishment for Common Law Robbery, The Elements of the Crime are drawn from the COMMON LAW Definition.
§ 14-87.1. Punishment for common-law robbery.
Robbery as defined at common law, other than robbery with a firearm or other dangerous weapon as defined by G.S. 14-87, shall be punishable as a Class G felony.
History
(1979, c. 760, s. 5; 1993, c. 539, s. 1174; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c).)
Tell me internet lawyer, where is the definition of Common Law Robbery in that Statute?
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?
The Following is Codified STATUTORY LAW!!!!!
§ 14-87. Robbery with firearms or other dangerous weapons. Statute text
(a) Any person or persons who, having in possession or with the use or threatened use of any firearms or other dangerous weapon, implement or means, whereby the life of a person is endangered or threatened, unlawfully takes or attempts to take personal property from another or from any place of business, residence or banking institution or any other place where there is a person or persons in attendance, at any time, either day or night, or who aids or abets any such person or persons in the commission of such crime, shall be guilty of a Class D felony.
As you can see from the above, you can pull the elements of the crime from the Statute, Can you do the same for COMMON LAW ROBBERY?? Nope, because what we are enforcing is the common law definition of robbery.
The only the that 14-87.1 specifies is the punishment.
Here is another:
§ 14-177. Crime against nature.
If any person shall commit the crime against nature, with mankind or beast, he shall be punished as a Class I felon.
(25 Hen. VIII, c. 6; 5 Eliz., c. 17; R.C., c. 34, s. 6; 1868-9, c. 167, s. 6; Code, s. 1010; Rev., s. 3349; C.S., s. 4336; 1965, c. 621, s. 4; 1979, c. 760, s. 5; 1979, 2nd Sess., c. 1316, s. 47; 1981, c. 63, s. 1; c. 179, s. 14; 1993, c. 539, s. 1191; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c).)
What is the Crime Against Nature??????
Tell me the elements of the crime that are codified in the Statute?
You can't pal.
You Can't.
Again it draws on a Common Law Definition for the Elements of the crime.
Here are more. I challenge you and the other internet lawyer to figure out these. There ARE NO STATUTES On these crimes, THEY ARE ALL COMMON LAW OFFENSES.
How about an Attempt to commit a Crime?
Solicitation of Another to Commit A Felony?
Conspiracy?
Compounding a Felony?
In North Carolina Crimes 5th Edition by Robert L. Farb each of the above has the following under the Statute: "This is a Common Law Offense."
Why? Because there is no Statute that covers those offenses.
Here is another one.
Find me in North Carolina General Statutes the offense of Going Armed to the Terror of the People.
You Can't because it isn't there, It is A COMMON LAW OFFENSE!!!!!
In order to find the elements to the crime you would have to rely on the common law definition and (272 N.C. 535; 32 N.C. App. 495.)
You are an idiot. You think the rest of the country operates like the circus that Kalifornia is.
In order for a law to be codified, the elements are going to have to be drawn from the statute. For most of the crimes I posted above YOU CANNOT EVEN FIND A STATUTE THAT COVERS THEM, The ones that do have statutes, those statutes ONLY COVER THE PUNISHMENT, NOT THE DEFINITION OF THE CRIME.
So you and your internet lawyers go have a nice day now.
