R.E.N. v. State, CR-04-1846, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, May 26, 2006, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Because defendant, as the victim's father, was in a position of domination and control over the victim, there was sufficient evidence of forcible compulsion to convict him of first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy under Ala. Code §§ 13A-6-61, 13A-6-63; therefore, the trial court properly denied defendant's motion for a judgment of acquittal.

Snowden v. State, CR-04-0975, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, May 26, 2006, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Since the statutory elements and the facts supported a finding that trafficking in methamphetamine, Ala. Code § 13A-12-231(11), and the unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine, Ala. Code § 13A-12-218, were separate offenses, remand of defendant's case was required for judgment on two counts of his indictment. No Miranda violation was found.

State v. Van Wooten, CR-04-2323, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, May 26, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: The trial court erred in dismissing defendant's indictment on the basis that he had been denied his right to a speedy-trial. Although the trial court found, at the conclusion of a hearing, that the State had not made sufficient effort to try to serve the indictment on defendant, defendant failed to prove actual prejudice as a result of the delay.

Sullivan v. State, CR-04-1947, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, May 26, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the allegations in defendant's postconviction petition might have been true, there might have been sufficient grounds for granting his petition; consequently, the trial court should have held a hearing pursuant to Ala. R. Crim. P. 32.9 or received evidence in an alternative manner as allowed by that rule.

Tucker v. State, CR-05-0574, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, May 26, 2006, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Because second-degree sodomy and second-degree rape were not lesser included offenses of first-degree sodomy and first-degree rape under Ala. Code §§ 13A-6-63(a)(3), 13A-6-61, the trial court lacked jurisdiction to accept defendant's guilty pleas to the second-degree offenses; therefore, defendant's convictions thereunder were void.

P. 32.2(c) petition for an out-of-time appeal within six months after learning about the denial, defendant was entitled to an out-of-time appeal.
