Because I believe the trial judge did not err in refusing to instruct the jury as requested by the defendant, I must respectfully dissent. Punishing a defendant for unintentionally causing the death of another while in the commission of a misdemeanor is not a new legal concept, in either a criminal case or a civil case. For example, in Pippin v. State,19 Ala. App. 384, 387, 97 So. 615<

HATCHETT, Circuit Judge: In 1985, in this case, we stated: The district court[’s] ... characterization of the DeKalb County School System as unitary was error. As the defendants suggest, it is possible that the district court did not intend its use of the word ‘unitary’ to be equated with the unitary status that requires dismissal of the action. The court may have been stating merely that a co

With all respect, however, I see this settlement and the district court’s approval of it in a different light. Thus, I respectfully dissent. Three main worries, each of which in my view is just an illusion, app
