Williams v. State
Williams v. State
Opinion
On October 24, 2003, the appellant, Bobby Williams, Jr., pled guilty to one count of first-degree robbery and one count of second-degree assault. The trial court sentenced him to serve concurrent terms of twenty years in prison on the first-degree robbery conviction and ten years in prison on the second-degree assault conviction. It then split the sentences and ordered him to serve three years followed by three years on supervised probation. On January 2, 2006, the appellant's probation officer filed an "Officer's Report on Delinquent Probationer." After conducting a hearing, the circuit court revoked the appellant's probation. This appeal followed.
"This matter having been presented on the Motion to Supplement the Record filed by the Defendant/Appellant on March 15, 2007, and it appearing that no colloquy was done between the Court and the Defendant at the time of the revocation and thus there being no transcript, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the Motion is due to be, and hereby is DENIED."
In this case, the revocation hearing was not transcribed. Also, the written revocation order does not include any facts regarding the voluntariness of the appellant's admission. Therefore, we cannot properly review the appellant's claim regarding the voluntariness of his admission. Accordingly, we must reverse the circuit *Page 617
court's judgment revoking the appellant's probation and remand this case for the circuit court to conduct a new revocation hearing. See Fleming v. State,
At the time the circuit court granted the motion to reconsider, the appellant's appeal was pending in this court.
Rogers v. State,"`The general rule is that jurisdiction of one case cannot be in two courts at the same time.' Ex parte Hargett,
772 So.2d 481 ,483 (Ala.Crim.App. 1999) (citing McKinney v. State,549 So.2d 166 (Ala.Crim.App. 1989))."
For the above-stated reasons, we reverse the circuit court's judgment and remand this case for that court to set aside the revocation order of February 16, 2007; to set aside its April 27, 2007, order purporting to grant the appellant's motion to reconsider and any proceedings conducted pursuant thereto; and to conduct a new revocation hearing. In conducting the revocation hearing, we caution the circuit court to comply with the due process requirements set forth in Gagnon v.Scarpelli,
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
