Samford, Torbert, Denson & Horsley, Opelika, for appellant.
MacDonald Gallion, Atty. Gen., and Herbert H. Henry, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
Possession of marijuana; sentence, two years with probation denied.
The State secured its evidence by getting a search warrant. Part of the affidavit laid before the issuing judge read:
The trial judge who ruled the evidence admissible did not have the opinion of the Supreme Court in Davis v. State, 286 Ala. 117, 237 So.2d 640. There Merrill, J., said in part:
This apparently was approval of our relying on Dandrea v. United States, 8 Cir., 7 F.2d 861 and Rosencranz v. United States, 1 Cir., 356 F.2d 310.
For this error, the judgment below is reversed and the cause remanded.
Reversed and remanded.
ALMON, J., not sitting.
