Huff v. State

Dissenting Opinion

COOK, Justice

(dissenting).

I respectfully dissent from the majority’s denial of the State’s petition for a writ of certiorari. I concur with this statement in Judge Cobb’s dissent: -“It was [Huffs] decision to withdraw his motion for a mistrial and to take his chances with the jury. This was his choice; and when he made it, he waived his right to use [the appearance at his trial of a convicted co-defendant, who refused to testify] as grounds for appeal.” Huff v. State, 678 So.2d 293, 301 (Ala.Crim.App. 1995) (Cobb, J., dissenting).

MADDOX and HOUSTON, JJ., concur.

Opinion of the Court

HOOPER, Chief Justice.

WRIT DENIED. NO OPINION.

ALMON, SHORES, KENNEDY, and INGRAM, JJ., concur. MADDOX, HOUSTON, COOK, and BUTTS, JJ., dissent.
