Dorsey v. State, 8 Div. 538
| Decision Date | 27 October 1981 |
| Docket Number | 8 Div. 538 |
| Citation | 406 So.2d 457 |
| Parties | Jesse DORSEY v. STATE. |
| Court | Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals |
John W. Caylor, Huntsville, for appellant.
Charles A. Graddick, Atty. Gen., and Elizabeth Ann Evans, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
The defendant was indicted and convicted for the possession of a forged instrument. Section 13A-9-6, Alabama Code 1975 (Amended 1977). Sentence was six years' imprisonment.
Admitted in this case were the very same type of mug shots this Court condemned in Holsclaw v. State, 364 So.2d 378 (Ala.Cr.App.) cert. denied, 364 So.2d 382 (Ala.1978). These photographs should not have been admitted into evidence, over proper objection, because they indicated that the defendant had a criminal record. However, at trial, this was not the basis of defense counsel's objection. The objection made at trial was:
This is a different objection from the one the defendant asserts on appeal.
We find Howell v. State, 369 So.2d 297 (Ala.Cr.App.1978), cert. denied, 369 So.2d 303 (Ala.1979), controlling. 369 So.2d at 302.
"The trial court must be apprised of the basis for the objection with sufficient particularity to allow an informed decision to be made on the particular legal issue involved." Bland v. State, 395 So.2d 164, 168 (Ala.Cr.App.1981).
A search of the record reveals no preserved error prejudicial to the defendant. The judgment of the Circuit Court is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
All Judges concur.
