State v. Every (2003)
It is the general rule that where a trial court, in charging a jury, undertakes the definition of a term that the law provides no set formula for defining, “the definition given should be in substantial accord with definitions approved by [our Supreme] Court.” State v. Hammonds, 241 N.C. 226, 232 , 85 S.E.2d 133, 138 (1954).

State v. Williams (1993)
II Defendant contends, and we agree, that the trial judge gave the jury an unconstitutional instruction on the meaning of "reasonable doubt." The challenged instruction, given midway through the jury's deliberations in response to a juror's request for clarification, was taken almost verbatim from State v. Hammonds, 241 *592 N.C. 226, 232, 85 S.E.2d 133, 138 (1954).

State v. Whitaker (1991)
Conceding that in instructing the jury the trial court correctly defined reasonable doubt, defendant nevertheless argues that the court erred in failing to include a portion of the definition of reasonable doubt found in State v. Hammonds, 241 N.C. 226, 232 , 85 S.E.2d 133, 138 (1954), to the effect that evidence beyond a reasonable doubt is proof that satisfies one to a moral certainty of the truth of the charge.
