Welch v. State
Welch v. State
Opinion
Travis Welch pled guilty to two separate offenses of the unlawful breaking and entering of a vehicle in violation of Alabama Code 1975, §
On appeal, the only contention is that Welch was "denied a full and fair appellate review due to the lack of a complete transcript of the proceedings at his sentence and probation hearing."
The sentence and probation hearing was reported. Contained in the record of that proceeding is the notation "(OFF THE RECORD DISCUSSION)." Appellate counsel states that "the Court's off the *Page 300
record discussion contains testimony which is invaluable to the defendant for the preparation of his appeal in the case." There is no allegation of the substance of this testimony. An appellant "bears the burden of bringing the record before an appellate court. He and his counsel have the duty of checking the record before submitting the appeal. It is their duty to file a correct record." Harris v. State,
The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
All Judges concur. *Page 802
