NC Court of Appeals affirms the trial court in Hest case and said: “The trial court erred by only invalidating the single example of an entertaining display contained in subsection (i). Instead, the entire statute must be invalidated.” In the Sandhill case, the Court of Appeals said: “Since N.C. Gen.Stat. § 14–306.4 has been declared void as unconstitutionally overbroad, the trial court’s order in the instant case must be reversed.” So, Sandhill got its injunction back. The State appealed to the NC Supreme Court.
