Supreme Court of Alabama May 10, 1985, 83-839 (Ex Parte Dietz)

This petition for writ of certiorari raises the question of whether the Court of Criminal Appeals, 474 So.2d 120, erred in affirming petitioner's conviction for escape in the first degree under Code 1975, § 13A-10-31. We granted the writ because the petition presented a significant issue as to whether petitioner was in lawful custody under the provisions of §§ 13A-10-30, -31, and 15-22-54.
