Abstract:
Among the many bills introduced to the 1969 North Carolina General Assembly, only one was successful, a law regarding capital crimes. Under the new legislation, a person charged with a capital crime may be permitted to plead guilty to a crime and if the plea is accepted, require the court to impose a sentence of only life imprisonment upon the defendant rather than the death penalty.
