Bonds v. State

Dissenting Opinion

MOORE, Chief Justice

(dissenting).

Although I do not condone the behavior engaged in by the petitioner, Lanice Clifton Bonds, that resulted in his criminal prosecution, I would grant Bonds’s petition for a writ of certiorari to examine the application of §§ 13A-6-80 and -81, Ala. Code 1975, under the facts of this case, in light of Judge Welch’s written dissent from the Court of Criminal Appeals’ opinion. Bonds v. State, 205 So.3d 1270, 1276-79 (Ala.Crim.App. 2015) (Welch, J., dissenting).
