Edmond v. State, CR-04-2392, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, April 28, 2006, Released
View this case - free

View this case - free

Ex parte Hoover, Inc., 1040969, SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA, April 28, 2006, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: That a taxpayer's sales to Mississippi government entities took place in Alabama did not justify the discriminatory impact of Ala. Code § 40-23-4(a)(11), which exempted from sales tax only sales to Alabama government entities. Therefore, Alabama violated "dormant" Commerce Clause jurisprudence by its discriminatory sales tax exemption.

P. 32 petition challenging his conviction and death sentence was properly denied, as, among other findings, appellant's ineffective-assistance-of-trial-counsel claim was precluded pursuant to Ala. R. Crim. P. 32.2(a)(2), (a)(4), because it was raised and addressed at trial and on direct appeal.
