“Specific grounds of objection waive all other grounds not specified at trial.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage““ ‘Once the issue of self-defense is raised, the State must prove that the accused did not act in self-defense in the sense that the State must prove a prima facie case of unjustified homicide.’ Ex parte Johnson, 433 So.2d 479, 481 (Ala.1983). See also Howard v. State, 420 So.2d 828 (Ala.Crim.App.1982). Thus, the State continues to have the burden of proving all of the elements of homicide and ‘must counter any evidence presented by the defendant which would raise a reasonable doubt as to the existence of one of those elements.’ Johnson at 481. The weight and credibility of the evidence is for the jury’s determination. Id.””
