Text: Pursuant to Rule 10(f) of the Alabama Rules of Appellate Procedure, the Defendant/Appellant by and through her attorney, Kathleen M. Warren, and the State of Alabama by and through its prosecutor, Charles D. Martin, hereby stipulate to a material omission in the trial court record. 1. Immediately following the trial court's denial of the defendant's motion to suppress the evidence, a brief recess was granted. During that recess, the attorney for the defendant and the prosecuting attorney engaged in a discussion outside the presence of the trial judge. 2. Upon the return of the defense attorney, the prosecuting attorney and the defendant to the trial judge's chambers, a conversation occurred between the defense attorney, the prosecuting attorney and the trial judge which was mistakenly omitted from the record. In summary, the omitted discussion was that the trial judge was informed by counsel for the defendant and by the prosecuting attorney that an agreement had been reached between them, in which the defendant concurred, that a guilty plea would be entered by the defendant conditioned upon the reservation of the issue of unlawful search and seizure for appeal. The trial judge agreed to accept the guilty plea under those conditions and assured defense counsel and the defendant that the issue of the unlawful search and seizure would be preserved on appeal. /s/ Kathleen M.
