Pritchett v. State
Supreme Court of Alabama · Decided June 12, 1992 · Almon, Hornsby, Shores, Houston, Steagall, Kennedy, Ingram, Maddox
600 So. 2d 400; 1992 Ala. LEXIS 593; 1992 WL 127424 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Pritchett v. State

Dissenting Opinion

MADDOX, Justice

(dissenting).

I would grant the writ of certiorari and review the opinion of the Court of Criminal Appeals that holds there was a violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1962), in this case. Although I am not completely convinced that the decision of the Court of Criminal Appeals is erroneous, I would at least grant the writ and review the record to determine there was, in fact, a Brady violation here.

Opinion of the Court

ALMON, Justice.

WRIT DENIED.

HORNSBY, C.J., and SHORES, HOUSTON, STEAGALL, KENNEDY and INGRAM, JJ., concur. MADDOX, J., dissents.
