Summary of this case from Miller v. State

Opinion

89-81.

December 1, 1989.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Winston County, No. CC-87-84, Robert Burleson, J.

Richard S. Jaffe of Jaffe, Burton Digiorgio, Birmingham, for petitioner.

Don Siegelman, Atty. Gen., for respondent.


The petition for writ of certiorari is denied.

In denying the petition for writ of certiorari, this Court does not wish to be understood as approving all the language, reasons, or statements of law in the Court of Criminal Appeals' opinion. Horsley v. Horsley, 291 Ala. 782, 280 So.2d 155 (1973).

We particularly disapprove the statement in part II of the opinion, 554 So.2d 1143 (Ala.Cr.App. 1989), that "It was appellant's burden to show initially, at the hearing on the motion to suppress, that the seizure was not pursuant to a warrant." See, e.g., Ex parte Paschal, 365 So.2d 681, 682 (Ala. 1978): "This objection placed upon the State the burden of showing either a warrant or one of the reasonable exceptions to a warrantless search."

WRIT DENIED.

HORNSBY, C.J., and MADDOX, ALMON, SHORES and ADAMS, JJ., concur.
