Benjamin v. State, CR-03-2040,
COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, November 23, 2005, Released
View this case - free
|
Overview: Because the trial court properly considered and weighed the aggravating and the mitigating circumstances under Ala. Code §§ 13A-5-49(4), 13A-5-51(1), and defendant's death sentence was not the result of the influence of passion, prejudice, or any other arbitrary factor under Ala. Code § 13A-5-53(b)(1), the sentence was appropriate.

COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, November 23, 2005, Released

|
Overview: Defendant's claim that a trial court lacked jurisdiction to accept his pleas because the informations were not made under oath was jurisdictional, sufficiently pleaded, unrefuted, and meritorious on its face. Therefore, it should have been accepted as true, and defendant was entitled to an opportunity to present evidence to support his claim.
