HUFF v. STATE

HOOPER, Chief Justice.

WRIT DENIED. NO OPINION.

ALMON, SHORES, KENNEDY, and INGRAM, JJ., concur.

MADDOX, HOUSTON, COOK, and BUTTS, JJ., dissent.

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 [Huff's] 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.
