        "text": "MARTIN, Justice.\nIt is not necessary to recite the sordid details of this case in order to resolve defendant\u2019s appeal. Defendant\u2019s sole argument is that his conviction of rape in the first degree was erroneous because the victim was allowed to testify as to her in-court identification of the defendant. Defendant\u2019s contention is without merit.\nThe record discloses the challenged testimony by the victim to be:\nQ. Do you see the person in the courtroom today, ma\u2019am?\nMR. RUSSELL: Objection.\nTHE COURT: Approach the bench.\nBench Conference\nTHE COURT: Overruled.\nQ. Do you see the man in the courtroom today\u2014\nA. Yes, I do.\nQ. \u2014who assaulted you sexually back on the 10th of February, 1985?\nA. Yes, I do.\nQ. Would you please point him out, ma\u2019am?\nA. Right there.\nQ. Are you indicating the fellow seated next to Mr. Russell?\nA. Yes, I am.\nMR. SPEAS: Your Honor, I\u2019d like the record to reflect she has pointed to Adam Joe Lewis Jordan, the defendant.\nTHE COURT: Let the record reflect that the witness . . . has identified Adam Joe Lewis Jordan, Jr., as the individual who assaulted her on February 10, 1985.\nAt the point that defendant objected the state had not asked the victim to identify her assailant. Thereafter, defendant failed to object to the victim\u2019s in-court identification of him and thus defendant has waived his right to have this contention considered on appellate review. N.C.G.S. \u00a7 15A-1446(b) (1983). As this Court held in State v. Foddrell, 291 N.C. 546, 557, 231 S.E. 2d 618, 626 (1977):\nThe rule is as quoted in State v. Jones, 280 N.C. 322, 339-340, 185 S.E. 2d 858, 869 (1972): \u201cIt is elementary that, \u2018nothing else appearing, the admission of incompetent evidence is not ground for a new trial where there was no objection at the time the evidence was offered.\u2019 . . . An assertion in this Court by the appellant that evidence, to the introduction of which he interposed no objection, was obtained in violation of his rights under the Constitution of the United States, or under the Constitution of this State, does not prevent the operation of this rule.\u201d See State v. Lowery, 286 N.C. 698, 213 S.E. 2d 255 (1975); State v. Gurley, 283 N.C. 541, 196 S.E. 2d 725 (1973); 4 Strong\u2019s North Carolina Index 3d Criminal Law \u00a7 162 (1976).\nThe present appeal is on all fours with State v. Hammond, 307 N.C. 662, 300 S.E. 2d 361 (1983) (holding that failure to renew objection to in-court identification testimony waived appellate review). We also note that defendant does not argue that the admission of the testimony constituted plain error.\nNevertheless, in our discretion we have examined the record carefully and have determined that the admission of the testimony was not error. See id. Additionally, we note that after the above-quoted testimony the victim testified without objection:\nQ. Are you absolutely sure that the man that assaulted you that evening is Adam Joe Lewis Jordan, Jr.?\nA. Yes, I am.\nQ. Is there any doubt in your mind whatsoever?\nA. No, sir, there is not.\nThus, even if defendant had objected to the previous testimony, his failure to object to the same evidence later admitted would have constituted a waiver of the hypothetical objection. State v. Whitley, 311 N.C. 656, 319 S.E. 2d 584 (1984); State v. Murray, 310 N.C. 541, 313 S.E. 2d 523 (1984). The new Evidence Code, chapter 8C of the General Statutes of North Carolina, does not change this law. 1 Brandis on North Carolina Evidence \u00a7 30 (Cum. Supp. 1986).\nDefendant received a fair trial, free of prejudicial error.\nNo error.",
