View this case - free  

Overview: Where the provisions of Ala. Code § 14-9-41 did not refer to the time that a convicted person spent incarcerated pending trial as discussed in Ala. Code § 15-18-5, the circuit court's application of Ala. Code § 15-18-8(g) was in error and the inmate was entitled to have the time he spent in custody pending trial credited against his sentence.

View this case - free

Harris v. State, CR-03-2093, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, March 18, 2005, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Summary denial of inmate's Ala. R. Crim. P. 32 petition was improper as court failed to address merits of claims that failure to appeal was not inmate's fault, trial counsel was ineffective for not adequately preparing, and because of alleged ineffectiveness and failure to be informed of nature and elements of charges, guilty plea was involuntary.

Heard v. State, CR-01-1810, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, March 18, 2005, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Conviction for lesser included offense was an implied acquittal as to the greater offense. Thus, jury's verdict convicting defendant of felony murder acquitted defendant of capital murder under Ala. Code § 13A-5-40; thus, trial court was under a duty to accept his conviction for felony murder of victim and to acquit him of capital-murder charge.

Hill v. State, CR-03-2178, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, March 18, 2005, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court's mere reference to "evidence presented at the hearing" or "testimony received on record" did not satisfy the due-process requirements recognized in Ala. R. Crim. P. 27.6(f). Accordingly, court remanded defendant's cause to the circuit court with directions that it state the evidence it relied on and the reasons for revoking probation.

Hinkle Metals & Supply Co. v. Ohio Cas. Ins. Co., 2030753, COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, March 18, 2005, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Even though the regulation of heating and air conditioning contractors was for the benefit of the public under Ala. Code § 34-31-19, a subcontractor was unable to recover under a performance bond for the nonpayment of materials because the "any contract" language in Ala. Code § 34-31-30 dealt with the installation of a heating or cooling system.

Hodges v. State, CR-03-2124, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, March 18, 2005, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Although the trial court stated that it was relying on the testimony of four witnesses in revoking defendant's, it did not state the substance of that testimony. Thus, trial court's order revoking defendant's probation did not comport with due process because it did not state the evidence the trial court relied on in revoking defendant's probation.
