View this case - free  

Overview: When the only basis for stopping defendant's car was a tip by an anonymous driver that the car was swerving and that the three men in it were drinking beer, the tip was sufficiently reliable to justify the stop of the car. The driver had described the car and its occupants in detail, and an officer stopped it within minutes of receiving the tip.

Edwards v. State, CR-05-1499, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF ALABAMA, December 20, 2006, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Because a failure-to-pay-child-support warrant was not for the commission of a felony or a misdemeanor, and because the arresting officers did not have the warrant in their possession, defendant could not be convicted of third-degree escape under Ala. Code § 13A-10-33(a) since the warrant was not lawful and he was not in custody when he fled.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's 20-year sentence after he pleaded guilty to violating Ala. Code § 20-2-70(a) was excessive as if defendant did not have any prior convictions for violations of Alabama Controlled Substances Act, defendant should have been sentenced pursuant to Ala. Code § 20-2-70, rather than pursuant to recidivist provisions in Ala. Code § 20-2-76.

R. Crim. P. 32.2(a)(3), (a)(5), (c).
