Walker v. State

Walker v. State
Supreme Court of Alabama · Decided June 30, 1995 · Houston, Hornsby, Almon, Ingram, Butts
664 So. 2d 897; 1995 Ala. LEXIS 284; 1995 WL 385904 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

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.
