In State v. Macon, 346 N.C. 109, 114, 484 S.E.2d 538, 541 (1997), the Court stated that "although not formally offered and accepted into evidence, evidence is also 'introduced' when a new matter is presented to the jury during cross-examination and that matter is not relevant to any issue in the case." Shuler, 135 N.C. App. at 453, 520 S.E.2d at 588. The Court further stated: New matters raised during the cross-examination, which are relevant, do not constitute the "introduction" of evidence within the meaning of Rule 10. To hold otherwise, would place upon a defendant the intolerable burden of electing to either refrain from the exercise of his constitutional right to cross-examine and thereby suffer adverse testimony to stand in the record unchallenged and un-impeached or forfeit the valuable procedural right to closing argument. Id. at 453, 520 S.E.2d at 588-89.
