A defendant who is in custody has a Fifth Amendment right to counsel during an interrogation.
The court may take judicial notice of adjudicative facts that are not subject to any reasonable dispute if the facts are common knowledge in the jurisdiction or can be easily determined by reference to reliable sources.
A misdemeanor statement of charges is a criminal pleading prepared by the prosecutor, charging a misdemeanor. A statement of charges is a type of pleading, but is not a form of process, and cannot be used to initiate a prosecution and compel the defendant to appear. See G.S. 15A-922(b)(1).
An initial appearance may be held before a magistrate anywhere within the state. See G.S. 7A-273(7).
The state is not barred from recharging an offense if it was dismissed because the state’s motion to continue was denied.
