Hastings v. State, CR-04-1862, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, December 23, 2005, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Because a motion for reconsideration of a violent offender sentence pursuant to Ala. Code ¿ 13A-5-9.1 was not a critical stage of the proceedings, defendant did not have a right to counsel in the proceeding; absent an abuse of its discretion, the trial court's finding that defendant was a violent offender would not be disturbed on appeal.

L.J.K. v. State, CR-04-0060, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, December 23, 2005, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Since defendant did not properly raise issues in his appellate brief and did not support issues with legal authority, Ala. R. App. P. 28(a)(10) was not satisfied and issues were not considered on appeal; defendant did not properly object to hearsay evidence, so evidence was properly admitted and was sufficient to support his convictions.

State v. Foster, CR-04-0500, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, December 23, 2005, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Because Ala. R. Crim. P. 13.5(c)(1) did not provide for the dismissal of an indictment based on the insufficiency of the evidence or a possible lack of evidence, the trial court erred in dismissing defendant's indictment based on its determination that the State could prove no set of facts upon which conviction could be based.

View this case - free  

Overview: Although defendant's sentence for second-degree assault under Ala. Code ¿ 13A-6-21(a)(2) was the result of a favorable plea agreement and the sentence was unlikely to be mitigated on remand, due to precedent, the case was remanded for a hearing on the validity of defendant's Ala. R. Crim. P. 32 claim that he was denied an allocution.
