Abstract:

The NC Supreme Court has held in State v. Peoples (1984) that hypnotically refreshed testimony, testimony about the hypnotic session, and a videotape recording of the hypnotic session are inadmissible in a criminal trial. Thus the Court overturned its earlier decision in State v. McQueen (1978). This memorandum will discuss Peoples and its effect on trial testimony and law enforcement practices.
