    "head_matter": "STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA v. WALTER ANDRE GOODSON\nNo. 7526SC152\n(Filed 2 July 1975)\nAppeal by defendant from Falls, Judge. Judgments entered 23 October 1974 in Superior Court, Mecklenburg County. Heard in the Court of Appeals 13 May 1975.\nDefendant was charged in two bills of indictment with (1) the felony of armed robbery and (2) the felony of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, inflicting serious injuries.\nThe State\u2019s evidence tended to show the following: On 27 May 1974, at approximately 5:45 p.m., defendant entered Broadway\u2019s Furniture Company on Rozzells Ferry Road in the City of Charlotte. The only persons in the store at that time were Mr. Broadway and his secretary, Mrs. Arnold. Defendant walked directly to the desk where Broadway was working. When defendant was about three feet from Broadway, he pulled a pistol from under his jacket and announced: \u201c[T]his is a holdup, give me your money.\u201d Defendant took Broadway\u2019s watch and wallet, and the money from the cash drawer. Defendant then walked about fifteen feet toward the front door, stopped, turned aro\u00fand, and shot Broadway in the forehead. Defendant proceeded another five feet toward the front door, stopped again, turned, and shot Broadway in the groin. Broadway\u2019s wallet contained his driver\u2019s license, a check payable to Broadway in the sum of $437.00, and a check payable to Broadway in the sum of $48.78. Broadway was hospitalized for several days for treatment of the gunshot wounds, and suffered total blindness of his right eye. About three to four hours after .the robbery, defendant undertook to cash the $48.78 check at Midget Supermarket, but was refused. The day after the robbery the investigating officer found the $487.00 check, the $48.78 check, and Broadway\u2019s driver\u2019s license near the Southside Apartments. Each of the items had been torn up. Defendant was arrested at his sister\u2019s apartment in Southside Apartments.\nDefendant denied the robbery and the shooting. He offered evidence which tended to account for his actions throughout the day of the robbery and shooting. His evidence tended to show that he was not in the vicinity of Broadway\u2019s Furniture Company or Midget Supermarket during the entire day in question.\nAttorney General Edmisten, by Associate Attorney George J. Oliver, for the State.\nEdmund A. Liles, for the defendant."
