Cited to Support
May's allegation that, in affirming his convictions and death sentences, the North Carolina Supreme Court characterized the State's forensic evidence as significant evidence of guilt. May cites State v. May to establish that the Court specifically relied upon evidence described as including DNA from both victims on the Defendant's clothing and the Defendant's DNA at 75 Rockhill Road. May relies upon this portion of the opinion to identify the forensic evidence that the North Carolina Supreme Court considered important in affirming his convictions and to support his subsequent challenge to the reliability, interpretation, and presentation of that evidence.
