Precisely the same error was made ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‍in the trial of this case as was made in S. v. Carter, ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‍ante, 106: the trial court did not instruct the jury what the legal ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‍effect of a recommendation of life imprisonment would be, as required by ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‍statute, G.S. 14-17. For the reasons given in S. v. Carter, a new trial ‍‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‍is necessary. It is so ordered.

New trial.
