View this case - free  

Overview: Although the Court of Civil Appeals applied the appropriate standard of review to the hearing officers' conclusions regarding the adequacy of the notices of proposed terminations under Ala.

Byrne v. Galliher, 1080247, SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA, May 29, 2009, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: As two policies enacted by the Alabama State Board of Education were internal-management policies, they were exempt from the definition of "rule" in Ala. Code § 41-22-3(9) of the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act (AAPA), Ala. Code § 41-22-1 et seq. Thus, the Board was not required to follow the AAPA in adopting the policies.

View this case - free  

Overview: Because the only evidence to show that defendant did not live at a certain address and that he had changed residences was a detective's hearsay testimony about the statements a resident made to him, the State did not present sufficient non-hearsay evidence to support the revocation of defendant's probation.

Lewis v. State, 1070647, SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA, May 29, 2009, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: As residual doubt was not a statutory mitigating circumstance under Ala. Code § 13A-5-51, nor a "relevant mitigating circumstance" under Ala. Code § 13A-5-52, the trial court did not err in denying defendant's requested jury charge on residual doubt during the penalty phase of his capital murder trial.

View this case - free  

Overview: Dismissal of inmate's postconviction petition was affirmed on grounds it was time-barred by Ala. R. Crim. P. 32.2(c).
