Abstract:

Gavin Smith was a red-shirt freshman defensive tackle for North Carolina State University Wolfpack. He is currently serving 6-8 years in the Morrison Correctional Facility in Hoffman, NC after being convicted of raping a 17-year-old girl. His case is now being reviewed by The North Carolina Court of Appeals on the basis that the prosecutor introduced prejudicial evidence concerning another incident between Smith and a young girl. The Court will determine a ruling sometime in the next few months.
