Maxwell v. City of Mobile

FAULKNER, Justice.

This review is of the Court of Criminal Appeals’ 439 So.2d 714 judgment affirming the conviction of Earl Wayne Maxwell for intentionally causing physical harm to another. We reverse.

The prosecution was brought by the City of Mobile in municipal court. Maxwell appealed to the Circuit Court of Mobile County for a trial de novo. In the circuit court, Judge Robert Hodnette found Maxwell guilty and sentenced him to imprisonment in the City of Mobile jail for six months (thirty days to be served with the balance suspended for a period of two years), a fine of $500, and restitution.
