““Where the evidence presented raises questions of fact for the jury, and such evidence, if believed, is sufficient to sustain conviction, the denial of a motion to exclude the state’s evidence, the refusal to give the affirmative charge and the overruling of a motion for new trial, does not constitute error. Drummond v. State, 37 Ala.App. 308 , 67 So.2d 280 ; Wade v. State, 24 Ala.App. 176 , 132 So. 71 .””
30 later decisions quote this exact passage““The refusal of a charge, though a correct statement of the law, shall not be cause for a reversal on appeal if it appears that the same rule of law was substantially and fairly given to the jury in the court’s general charge or in charges given to the jury at the request of the parties.””
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Cartwright v. State“That a presumptive, procedural right . . . not guaranteed by state or federal constitution, when granted to some, if not most, defendants in criminal cases, must be granted to all defendants similarly situated, or it is unconstitutional, is simply not the law.”
