    "head_matter": "STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA v. DAVID HAMILTON\nNo. 7313SC441\n(Filed 11 July 1973)\nAppeal from Clark, Judge, February 1973 Session of Superior Court, Bladen County.\nDefendant was charged with first-degree murder. Upon the call of the case for trial, defendant, through his counsel, entered a plea of guilty to involuntary manslaughter. The court questioned defendant at length to determine whether his plea was being voluntarily, understandingly, and freely entered. The questioning by the court consumes four pages of the record. There then appears in the record the transcript of plea as signed by defendant and the adjudication by the court that the plea was entered freely, understandingly, and voluntarily, without undue influence, compulsion or duress, and without promise of leniency.\nFrom judgment committing defendant to the State Prison for a term of not less than eight nor more than ten years, defendant appealed. He is represented on appeal by counsel furnished by the State.\nAttorney General Morgan, by Associate Attorney Speas, for the State.\nReuben L. Moore, Jr., for defendant appellant."
