An information is an accusation drafted by the prosecutor and filed in superior court, charging one or more criminal offenses. An information may be filed only if the defendant waives indictment.
If the defendant does not introduce evidence, the defendant has the right to the first and last closing argument.
Prosecution of the defendant for an infraction will bar a subsequent prosecution for a more serious offense arising out of the same conduct.
If the defendant (or any defendant in a multi-defendant case) puts on evidence, then state has the right to the first and last closing argument.
The rules of evidence do not apply at sentencing. G.S. 8C-1101(b)(3).
