From a National Treasure 3 -style sting to leading NC courts: Meet Justice Paul Newby Danielle Battaglia, The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.)
Dec. 21 RALEIGH Justice Paul Newby never hid the fact from N.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley that in 2020 he would be coming for her job.
And on Dec. 12, he did just that.
Beasley called Newby shortly after 9:30 a.m. and conceded the election after a drawn-out battle that included two recounts, numerous disputed ballots and at one point, only five votes between them.
Newby, a Republican, warned his opponent in early 2019 that taking her job was in his plans.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Police unlawfully obtained evidence of drugs, a gun and counterfeit money at a North Carolina home because officers took a late-night shortcut through the suspect’s yard, instead of walking up the driveway, the state Court of Appeals ruled on last week.
A three-judge panel ruled 2-1 that Gastonia officers lacking a search warrant crossed the line in December 2017 when they walked onto the front yard of Michael Shane Falls for up to 20 feet (6 meters) even though there was a “no trespassing” sign present. Wearing dark clothing, the officers then emerged through trees to speak to Falls before he could drive away.
