Sessions v. State
Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals · Decided March 30, 1990 · Patterson
563 So. 2d 62; 1990 Ala. Crim. App. LEXIS 176; 1990 WL 68602 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Sessions v. State

Opinion of the Court

ON REMAND FROM THE ALABAMA SUPREME COURT

PATTERSON, Judge.

This cause was remanded by the Alabama Supreme Court for consideration in light of Harris v. Reed, 489 U.S. 255, 109 S.Ct. 1038, 103 L.Ed.2d 308 (1989). The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed, because the issue raised by appellant concerning the seizure of contraband lacks merit. Appellant’s issues concerning the trial court’s failure to charge the jury on his constitutional right not to take the stand and the trial court’s failure to answer a question from the jury during its deliberations are procedurally barred because appellant made no objection at trial.

AFFIRMED.

All Judges concur.
