McCall v. State

On September 14, 2000, Roy Lee McCall was convicted of first-degree robbery, a violation of 13A-8-41, Ala. Code 1975. On October 10, 2000, the trial court sentenced McCall to life in prison. On October 16, 2000, McCall filed a written notice of appeal and a motion for a new trial. The trial court denied the motion for a new trial on October 31, 2000.

The record showed that on October 20, 1998, Mr. Ngo, the owner of Ken's Food Store in Dothan, reported that he had been robbed. Ngo testified that the robber shot at him with a gun. Ngo identified McCall in open court as the robber.
