Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama October 28, 1980 (Jones v. State)

This is an appeal from a conviction of robbery and a sentence to imprisonment for fifteen years. During the court's oral charge and well before its conclusion, the court said: "In this case as in any case the lawyers have a right to request certain written requested charges. That has been done in this case. Of course, I think about 20 were requested, but I am going to read two charges to you.
