State Supreme Court Frees Greensboro Man in Manslaughter Case
The North Carolina Supreme Court reversed Guilford County’s manslaughter conviction of David William Tolbert and ordered that he be freed. The ruling, authored by Associate Justice E. B. Denny, also overturned a Charlotte man’s fraud verdict tied to false insurance claims and granted a new trial to another suit involving NASC AR. The decisions reflect the court’s stance on motions to dismiss after state testimony and civil versus criminal wrongdoing distinctions.
