Ex Parte Aaron Cody Smith. Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Court of Criminal Appeals

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama quashed the writ of certiorari without issuing an opinion. The controlling disposition therefore left the conviction undisturbed, while special concurrences stated that Smith had failed to preserve viable theories for review and expressed serious concerns about the evidence supporting specific intent and the effectiveness of his counsel. The concurring opinions suggested that Smith may pursue postconviction relief.
