State v. Luker

Judge WELLS

concurring in the result.

I do not believe that the decision of our Supreme Court in State v. Hardy, 293 N.C. 105, 235 S.E. 2d 828 (1977), requires the trial court to conduct an in camera review of tape recorded statements which have not been reduced to a written transcript. For this reason, I have not reviewed the tape recording filed by *657defendant in this case. I am convinced that such a requirement, if adopted and followed, would result in an enormous waste of judicial time.
