App. See N.C. Gen. Stat.

Intent is a condition of the mind ordinarily susceptible of proof only by circumstantial evidence.
Evidence of a defendant's actions following restraint of the victim is some evidence of the reason for the restraint. Intent to terrorize means more than an intent to put another in fear. 109 N.C. App. The evidence tends to show that defendant forced Ms. Hicks to drive to a secluded area and threatened to kill her twice along the way. Ms. Hicks was so scared that she did not get a look at defendant until she got out of the car.
