Ex Parte Pritchett

Supreme Court of Alabama

600 So. 2d 400 (Ala. 1992)

Opinion

1910986.

June 12, 1992.

Petition for writ of Certiorari to the Court of Criminal Appeals (CR 89-1379). Appeal from the Jefferson Circuit Court, No. CC-86-2463.10, James S. Garrett, Judge.

Oscar W. Adams III, Birmingham, for petitioner.

James H. Evans, Atty. Gen., for respondent.


WRIT DENIED.

HORNSBY, C.J., and SHORES, HOUSTON, STEAGALL, KENNEDY and INGRAM, JJ., concur.

MADDOX, J., dissents.


I would grant the writ of certiorari and review the opinion of the Court of Criminal Appeals that holds there was a violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1962), in this case. Although I am not completely convinced that the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeals is erroneous, I would at least grant the writ and review the record to determine there was, in fact, a Brady violation here.
