In State v. Warren, 289 N.C. 551, 556-58, 223 S.E.2d 317, 320-21 (1976) the Supreme Court of North Carolina held that the witness's prior statement that the defendant said that he planned to kill the victim did not corroborate the witness's testimony that the defendant said he had planned to rob the victim. 289 N.C. 551, 556-58, 223 S.E.2d 317, 320-21 (1976). In that case, the testimony and the prior statements of the witness were clearly contradictory as to whether the defendant had intended to kill the victim. Id. at 557, 223 S.E.2d at 321. The Supreme Court held that the corroborating witness's testimony went "far beyond" the witness's testimony. Id. at 556, 223 S.E.2d at 320. There, the witness, Wyatt, "only testified that the defendant and his brother Harold decided to rob the old man and that Harold had a 2 X 4 and the defendant had a knife." Id. The corroborating witness, Crawford, testified that the defendant told him that he and Harold planned to rob and kill the old man, that Harold actually hit the old man with the 2 X 4, that the defendant cut the old man's face, chest, and throat, and that the defendant and Harold told him that they planned to kill a second man. Id., 223 S.E.2d at 320-21.
