Ex parte State of Alabama (In re Chris PRINCE v. STATE of Alabama).
    82-452.
    Supreme Court of Alabama.
    April 22, 1983.
    Charles A. Graddick, Atty. Gen., and James F. Hampton and J. Anthony McClain, Sp. Asst. Attys. Gen., for petitioner.
    G. Wayne Ashbee of Hall, Friedman, Ashbee & Laden, Mobile, for respondent.
   SHORES, Justice.

The writ of certiorari is denied on federal constitutional grounds. We, like the Court of Criminal Appeals, 431 So.2d 565, are unable to distinguish this case from Ashe v. Swenson, 397 U.S. 436, 90 S.Ct. 1189, 25 L.Ed.2d 469 (1970).

WRIT DENIED.

TORBERT, C.J., and MADDOX, JONES and BEATTY, JJ., concur.
