Barger v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama

Decided February 12, 1993No. CR 91-1307Published

1Opinion of the Court

BOWEN, Presiding Judge.

James Allen Barger, the appellant, was convicted of criminal trespass in the first degree, was fined $1,000, and was sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment in the county jail. On this direct appeal from that conviction, the appellant argues that the admission of an audio tape recording constituted reversible error because “the substance of the recording had nothing whatsoever to do with the alleged incident, never made reference to the alleged incident, and is in no way connected to what allegedly occurred.” Appellant’s brief at 1. We disagree.
