STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA v. JERRY LEE BALLARD

Criminal Law § 1095 (NCI4th Rev.) — second-degree murder — automobile accident — aggravating factor — position of trust or confidence — insufficient evidence

The evidence was insufficient to support the trial court's finding of the aggravating factor that defendant took advantage of a position of trust or confidence to commit the offense of second-degree murder arising from the death of a twelve-year-old child in an automobile accident while defendant was intoxicated and being pursued by a deputy sheriff.

PER CURIAM.

For the reasons stated in the dissenting opinion for the Court of Appeals by Martin (John C.), J., the decision of the Court of Appeals is reversed. We conclude that defendant's petition for discretionary review as to additional issues was improvidently allowed.

REVERSED IN PART; DISCRETIONARY REVIEW IMPROVIDENTLY ALLOWED IN PART.

Justice WYNN did not participate in the consideration or decision of this case.
