Walker v. State

Supreme Court of Alabama
Jun 30, 1995
664 So. 2d 897 (Ala. 1995)

Opinion

1941203.

June 30, 1995.

Petition for writ of Certiorari to the Court of Criminal Appeals (CR-93-1843). Appeal from the Mobile Circuit Court, No. CC-91-08.80; Ferrill D. McRae, Judge.

Jeff Sessions, Atty. Gen., and Margaret S. Childers, Asst. Atty. Gen., for petitioner.

W. Lloyd Copeland, Mobile, for respondent.


In denying the writ, this Court should not be understood as agreeing with the rationale of the Court of Criminal Appeals. The trial court's ruling on the defendant's objection and motion for mistrial was correct under independent state law evidentiary principles. See, e.g., Shoemaker v. State, 481 So.2d 409 (Ala.Crim.App. 1985).

WRIT DENIED.

HORNSBY, C.J., and ALMON, INGRAM, and BUTTS, JJ., concur.
