AL: Objection to search of person doesn’t preserve claim of cell phone search

Defendant’s appellate argument that his cell phone was searched without a warrant wasn’t preserved at trial by the argument he objected to the search of his person. In any event, it was said during trial there was a warrant. Alonso v. State, 2016 Ala. Crim. App. LEXIS 7 (Feb. 12, 2016).

The trial court erred in granting summary judgment for the state in a forfeiture action. Defendant showed enough to preclude summary judgment. Okafor v. State, 2016 Ala. Civ. App. LEXIS 48 (Feb. 12, 2016).*
