MADDOX, Justice

(dissenting).

This case involves the interpretation of § 13A-12-192(b), Ala. Code 1975, and related sections that make the possession of child pornography a felony. The petition for the writ of certiorari presents an important issue of first impression in this court, and because this Court is the final interpreter of the laws of Alabama, I would grant the petition for certiorari review; therefore, I respectfully dissent.

HOOPER, C.J., and BUTTS, J., concur.
