  4. Shadle v. State

    280 Ala. 379 (Ala. 1967)   Cited 131 times
    In Shadle v. State, 280 Ala. 379, 194 So.2d 538, the court said that the granting of a mistrial is within the sound discretion of the trial court, for he, being present, is in a much better position to determine what effect, if any, some occurrence may have had upon the jury's ability to decide the defendant's fate fairly and justly.

    This may well be true, but the burden to file a correct record is on the appellant. Rushing v. State, 40 Ala. App. 361, 113 So.2d 527. If the transcript is incorrect, the proper mode of correction is by a writ of certiorari, not by an ex parte statement in the brief of counsel. Morris v. State, 268 Ala. 60, 104 So.2d 810; Cash v. Usrey, 278 Ala. 313, 178 So.2d 91; Code 1940, Title 7, § 827(1), 827(4).
