The court is not bound by the rules of evidence (except for rules on privilege) when deciding whether challenged evidence is admissible.
G.S. 15A-134 provides that if a charged offense occurred partly in North Carolina and partly in another state, a person charged with that offense may be tried in North Carolina only if he or she has not already been placed in jeopardy for the same offense by the other state.
The rules of evidence do not apply at sentencing. G.S. 8C-1101(b)(3).
A statement of charges, criminal summons, arrest warrant, citation or magistrate’s order may be amended at any time before or after final judgment as long as the amendment does not change the nature of the offense charged. G.S. 15A-922(f).
