1. “"Do the Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure require that counsel be allowed to be present at [a] post-conviction, post-sentencing psychological examination? We must answer that they do not. Rule 16.2(b) states that it applies 'solely in connection with the particular offense with which the defendant is charged.' (emphasis added [in Martin]) Martin is not presently charged with an offense. He has already been tried and convicted and is pursuing a collateral attack on that conviction.”

2. “"A proceeding under this rule displaces all post-trial remedies except post-trial motions under Rule 24 and appeal.

Proceedings under this rule shall be governed by the Rules of Criminal Procedure, except that the trial court in its sole discretion may *Page 844 allow the taking of depositions for discovery or for use at trial."”
