Danny Ray Miles v. State

TAYLOR, JUDGE Danny Ray Miles was indicted by the grand jury of Jefferson County in December 1975, for the murder of Mr. Ronald Harvel White. On March 25, 1976, Miles was convicted of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to a term of life imprisonment. Appeal was taken to this court but no brief was filed on behalf of appellant. By implementing the search the record rule, this court in Miles v. State, 343 So.2d 801 (Ala. Cr. App. 1977), determined that the judgment of conviction was due to be affirmed. Thereafter in Ex parte Miles, 343 So.2d 806 (Ala. 1977), the Alabama Supreme Court denied certiorari.
