Walker v. State

Supreme Court of Alabama
Walker v. State, 664 So. 2d 897 (Ala. 1995)
1995 Ala. LEXIS 284; 1995 WL 385904
Houston, Hornsby, Almon, Ingram, Butts

Walker v. State

Opinion of the Court

HOUSTON, Justice.

In denying the writ, this Court should not be understood as agreeing with the rationale of the Court of Criminal Appeals. The trial court’s ruling on the defendant’s objection and motion for mistrial was correct under independent state law evidentiary principles. See, e.g., Shoemaker v. State, 481 So.2d 409 (Ala.Crim.App. 1985).

WRIT DENIED.

HORNSBY, C. J., and ALMON, INGRAM, and BUTTS, JJ., concur.
