1. “"Pursuant to [the Supreme Court's opinion and judgment in Ex parte Bohannon ], we reverse Bohannon's conviction for trafficking. However, we find that the state clearly proved each and every element of possession of marijuana, § 20-2-70, which is a lesser included offense of the crime charged. Thus, we are authorized to apply the doctrine of Edwards v. State, 452 So.2d 506 (Ala.Cr.App.1983), aff'd, 452 So.2d 508 (Ala.1984). See also Borden v. State, 523 So.2d 508 (Ala.Cr.App.1988). Accordingly, we reverse Bohannon's conviction for trafficking, but we remand with instruction that a judgment of guilty be entered for the lesser included offense of possession of marijuana and for proper resentencing. Due return should be filed with this court showing the action [taken] by the trial court."”
