Cited to Support

Lyle C. May's reliance upon N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15A-1415(f) for the statutory requirement that post-conviction counsel in capital cases be provided access to the complete files of all law enforcement agencies and prosecutorial offices involved in the investigation and prosecution of the defendant, subject only to the limited exceptions established by statute. May cites this statutory authority in support of his allegations that he was entitled to discovery of investigative and prosecutorial files, including materials relating to the handling, preservation, and forensic testing of physical evidence in his case.
