View this case - free  

Overview: Although a nurse violated Ala. Code § 34-21-22(c) when she used a designation for a licensed practical nurse on a sign-in sheet at an employee orientation because she was not licensed at the time, a revocation of her license was inappropriate because there was no reason for such under Ala.

Allen v. State, CR-06-0070, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, June 29, 2007, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's claims in his Ala. R. Crim. P. 32 petition concerning the application of the Habitual Felony Offender Act (HFOA) to his sentence were without merit as his voluntary admission that he had two prior felony offenses dispensed with the notice requirement and the State's obligation to prove the offenses under Ala. Code § 13A-5-9 (1975).

View this case - free  

Overview: Subsequent property purchasers could not prevent use of boat slip and pier on their property by adjacent property owners because those owners had purchased property based on agreement with the prior owner that they could have use of the boat slip; thus, they had an irrevocable license. Further, the subsequent owners had knowledge of the agreement.

Blythe v. Blythe, 2050926, COURT OF CIVIL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, June 29, 2007, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Because: a divorce decree ordering that the parties' marital property be equally divided did not actually divide said property; left unadjudicated claims; and the order purporting to certify the judgment as final neither cited Ala. R. Civ. P. 54(b), nor used its language, the husband's appeal was from a nonfinal judgment, and was thus dismissed.

Broadnax v. State, CR-04-2141, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, June 29, 2007, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Judgment was reversed as allowing inmate's second amendment under Ala. R. Crim. P. 32.7(b) to inmate's Ala. R. Crim. P. 32 petition would not have unduly prejudiced State as State would have been required to respond only to new and expanded claims, and merely having to respond to amendment, alone, did not constitute undue prejudice.

View this case - free  

Overview: Murder conviction and death penalty were affirmed because the trial court did not commit errors during the jury selection that denied defendant a fair trial, the prosecutor's comments did not deny defendant a fair trial, the trial court properly instructed the jury, and the imposition of the death penalty was not inappropriate.

Burton v. State, CR-05-1879, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, June 29, 2007, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Verdicts convicting appellant of reckless murder and first-degree arson under Ala. Code §§ 13A-6-2(a)(2) and 13A-7-41 were not mutually exclusive because no element of either offense negated element of other. Thus, jury reasonably concluded that appellant acted with requisite intent to commit each crime, and victim died as result of both actions.

Casteel v. State, CR-06-0720, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, June 29, 2007, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Because appellant was not represented by counsel when he moved to withdraw his guilty plea, a critical stage of the proceedings, he had not waived his right to counsel, and, in fact, he had requested appointment of counsel with respect to the motion, he was denied his Sixth Amendment right to counsel and was entitled to an out-of-time appeal.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's DUI case under Decatur, Ala., Code § 16-1 was improperly dismissed because the maximum fine of $5,000 did for conduct that constituted a violation of Ala. Code § 32-5A-191 did not exceed the amount in Ala. Code § 11-45-9(b); therefore, Decatur, Ala., Code § 16-1 was not void.
