Ex parte State of Alabama. (Re Billy Vaughn PATTERSON v. STATE).

Supreme Court of Alabama.

Rehearing Denied July 29, 1988.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Don Siegelman, Atty. Gen., and Rosa Hamlett Davis, Asst. Atty. Gen., for petitioner.

J. Wilson Dinsmore, Birmingham, for respondent.


BEATTY, Justice.

Certiorari was granted in this case under Rule 39(c)(4), A.R.App.P. Specifically, the question to be resolved is whether the finding of the Court of Criminal Appeals respecting the lack of circumstantial evidence of guilt is consistent with prior decisions on that subject. Upon review, we hold that the finding is not consistent; therefore, we reverse and remand the cause to that court.
