Sex Crimes
The N.C. House and Senate haven’t held a session since mid-January. But between sessions, legislators come to Raleigh periodically for oversight committee meetings to hear presentations about key topics and work on draft legislation. On Wednesday, for example, the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee handling wireless and broadband access in North Carolina Public Schools and Retirement Models for Teachers. On Thursday the committee handling justice and public safety issues got updates on the “Raise the Age” program to move 16- and 17-year-olds out of adult courts and prisons, as well as funding to reduce the backlog of rape kit testing.

Robbery
Cedric Hobbs, Jr. is now serving life without parole for robbery and murder. Because of this new ruling, he may see a new trial.
Murder
In the 2014 Cedric Hobbs, Jr. murder case, the trial judge inappropriately allowed a Cumberland County prosecutor to dismiss three Black jurors from Hobbs’s jury “...without fully considering the evidence that race was a key factor in their strikes,” cites the Center for Death Penalty Litigation in Durham.

Employment Discrimination
“What’s most important is the message that courts across North Carolina must vigorously investigate the reasons why jurors of color are excluded, not simply rubber stamp the prosecutor’s strikes,” said James E. Coleman, Jr., John S. Broadway Professor of the Practice of Law, Director of the Center for Criminal Justice and Professional Responsibility, and Co-Director of the Wrongful Convictions Clinic at Duke Law School. “This decision is a good starting point in addressing North Carolina’s shameful record of denying African Americans their civil right to serve on juries. These issues will continue to come up. As they do, my hope is that the state supreme court will continue to take this civil rights problem seriously, by enforcing and strengthening legal protections against race discrimination.”
