## Opinion text

The facts in this case are so unclear that it is not a good case to use as a precedent. However, I have previously pointed out that the right to appeal a conviction to a higher court is a constitutional right that cannot be bargained away by a citizen. See dissenting opinions in McLaughlin v. State , 662 So.2d 1234 (Ala.Cr.App. 1995); Watkins v. State , 659 So.2d 689
(Ala.Cr.App. 1995); Lynn v. State , 629 So.2d 89
(Ala.Cr.App. 1993).
