  1. Parks v. State

    587 So. 2d 1012 (Ala. 1991)   Cited 24 times
    Holding where a party seeking the exclusion of the evidence suffers an adverse ruling on its motion in limine, that party can preserve the ruling for appellate review "only by objecting to the introduction of the proffered evidence and assigning specific grounds at the time of trial, unless he or she obtains the express acquiescence of the trial judge that a subsequent objection and assignment of grounds are not necessary"

    SHORES, Justice. We granted the State's petition for the writ of certiorari in this case to determine if the Court of Criminal Appeals, 587 So.2d 1010, erred in reversing Samuel Parks's conviction of rape in the first degree and remanding for a new trial. As a result of his conviction, Parks received a sentence of 15 years' imprisonment and was ordered to pay $150 to the Victims' Compensation Fund, along with court costs.
