Philpot v. State

Regardless of any personal views on the subject of women serving on juries, it is my firm conviction the legal status is settled by the response of the Supreme Court to the certified question from this court. The opinion of the Supreme Court on any question so certified is conclusive, controlling and binding on this court. Section 88, Title 13, Code of Alabama, 1940; Mars v. State, 23 Ala.App. 569, 129 So. 314; Lashley v. State, 28 Ala.App. 86, 180 So. 720; State ex rel. Mantell v. Baumhauer et al., 31 Ala.App. 27, 12 So.2d 332.
