Burlington Northern Railroad Co. v. Bell Et Al.

showing in support of request for funds for a forensic expert was insufficient | defendant is harmed only if he uses a peremptory strike to remove venireperson and thereafter suffers detriment from a loss of the strike | the definition of "under term of imprisonment" in § 13A-5-49 (1) encompasses persons on probation or parole | "statements in the record such as `upon their oaths' are sufficient to show that a jury was sworn" | the definition of “under term of imprisonment” in § 13A-5-49(1) encompasses persons on probation or parole | ‘[a] minute entry is deemed to be a sufficient showing that the oath was administered’ | where defendant made no ‘showing of the need for a forensic expert’ to examine fingerprints on a beer can, he ‘was not unconstitutionally denied the assistance of experts’
