RALEIGH, N.C. — Three men convicted of kidnapping and beating a Durham Home Depot manager will get a new trial.
Friday, the Supreme Court ordered new trials for Ronald Evans, Byron Howard and Aaron Dexter, convicted of the December 1999 kidnapping of a Home Depot manager during a robbery attempt.
The three men will get a new trial because of problems with instructions given to the jury.
The high court ruled on 15 cases Friday but did not issue an opinion in the attorney-client privilege case that could make or break the Eric Miller arsenic poisoning case.
The Supreme Court rules next on Feb. 28.
