Allowance of the State\u2019s motion to consolidate the cases was within the discretion of the trial judge, State v.

We have carefully reviewed the evidence and conclude that it was sufficient to withstand the motions for nonsuit on all charges except charges alleged in no. 74-CR-4085; we hold that the evidence in that case was insufficient and the motions for nonsuit as to it should have been allowed.\nIn nos. 74-CR-4083, 74-CR-4084, and 74-CR-4086, no error.\nIn no. 74-CR-4085, reversed.\nChief Judge Brock and Judge Clark concur.",

Criminal Law \u00a7 92\u2014 consolidation of charges for trial\nThe trial court did not err in consolidating for trial charges against defendant for four offenses of felonious breaking and entering and four offenses of felonious larceny which allegedly occurred on two separate dates.\n2. Burglary and Unlawful Breakings \u00a7 5; Larceny \u00a7 7 \u2014 breaking and entering \u2014 larceny \u2014 sufficiency of evidence\nThe State\u2019s evidence was sufficient for the jury on three charges of felonious breaking and entering and three charges of felonious larceny but was insufficient for the jury on a fourth charge of each crime.\nON certiorari to review judgments of Braswell, Judge, entered at the 10 June 1974 Criminal Session of Superior Court held in Cumberland County.\nBy indictments, proper in form, defendant was charged with four offenses of felonious breaking or entering and four offenses of felonious larceny. Six of the offenses allegedly occurred on 4 January 1974 and the other two on 9 January 1974. Over defendant\u2019s objection and on motion of the State, the cases were consolidated for trial. Defendant pleaded not guilty to all charges.\nA jury found defendant guilty as charged and the court entered judgments imposing prison sentences under the Youthful Offender Statute (G.S. 148-49.2) for the following terms: In no. 74-CR-4083, 10 years; in no. 74-CR-4084, two years, to begin at expiration of sentence imposed in 74-CR-4083; in no. 74-CR-4085, two years, to begin at expiration of sentence imposed in no. 74-CR-4084; and in no. 74-CR-4086, 10 years, to run concurrently with sentence imposed in no. 74-CR-4088.\nDefendant appealed.\nAttorney General Rufus L. Edmisten, by Associate Attorneys Robert P. Gruber and Jesse C. Brake, for the State.\nRose, Thorp and Rand, by Anthony E. Rand, and Cherry and Grimes, by Sol G. Cherry, for defendant appellant."
