Qualls v. State

It appears that the appellant, Kenneth Qualls, was indicted for third-degree escape, attempted murder, domestic violence, first-degree burglary, and unlawful possession of a controlled substance. He was convicted of third-degree escape, a violation of § 13A-10-33, Ala. Code 1975, and was acquitted of the remaining charges.

The appellant did not file any post-trial motions. This appeal followed.
