State v. Simpsongreen

2023This is perhaps attributable to the inherent tension between these types of arguments and the long-held principle that “[c]ontradictions and discrepancies in the [evidence in criminal cases] are to be resolved by the jury,” State v. Simpson, 244 N.C. 325, 331 (1956), as well as the understanding in our caselaw that summary judgment on the issue of contributory negligence, by contrast, necessarily requires a judicial determination of an issue ordinarily reserved for the finder of fact.
