The defendant’s only assignment of error is to the overruling of his motion to dismiss for the insufficiency of the evidence. He bases this argument on certain inconsistencies in the evidence and particularly on some evidence that the pistol may have fired accidentally. In determining whether evidence is sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss, the evidence is considered in the light most favorable to the State. If there is a conflict in the evidence, the resolution of the conflict is for the jury. State v. Mitchum, 258 N.C. 337, 128 S.E.2d 665 (1962). In the light most favorable to the State, there was sufficient evidence in this case to support a conviction of first degree murder. This assignment of error is overruled.
The defendant next asks us to review the record pursuant to
Anders v. California,
386 U.S. 738, 18 L. Ed. 2d 493,
reh’g denied,
388 U.S. 924, 18 L. Ed. 2d 1377 (1967), to determine whether any error occurred which would require a new trial. We said in
State v. Barton,
335 N.C. 696, 441 S.E.2d 295 (1994), that generally an appellant’s attorney should ask this Court to search the record for errors pursuant
NO ERROR.
