James v. State
Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals · Decided September 28, 2001 · McMillan, Baschab, Wise, Cobb, Shaw
814 So. 2d 315; 2001 Ala. Crim. App. LEXIS 223; 2001 WL 1148236 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

James v. State

Opinion of the Court

McMILLAN, Presiding Judge.

AFFIRMED BY UNPUBLISHED MEMORANDUM.

BASCHAB and WISE, JJ., concur. COBB and SHAW, JJ., concur in part and dissent in part, with opinions.

Concurring in Part

COBB, Judge,

concurring in part and dissenting in part.

I concur in the unpublished memorandum affirming the appellant’s conviction. I dissent as to his sentence, based on Judge Shaw’s special writing in Poole v. State, [Ms. CR-99-1200, Aug. 31, 2001] - So.2d - (Ma.Crim.App. 2001). As to those points of law on which I disagree with Judge Shaw, see my special writing in Poole, supra. The judgment in this cause should be reversed, and the trial court should strike the sentence enhancement imposed pursuant to § 13A-12-250. James should serve only the 10-year sentence imposed for the lesser-included offense of unlawful distribution.

Concurring in Part

SHAW, Judge,

concurring in part and dissenting in part.

I concur in that part of the unpublished memorandum affirming Terrell A. James’s conviction; however, I would reverse his sentence and remand the case for resen-tencing in accordance with my special writing in Poole v. State, [Ms. CR-99-1200, August 31, 2001] - So.2d - (Ma.Crim.App. 2001) (SHAW, J., concurring in the result).
