Bob Robertson - a suspect in the drug

investigation - told him that Tim and

Jayne Moore lived in the mokile home.

The State rested its case at this

point and the appellant moved for a

judgment of acquittal and tc exclude the

State's evidence.

I

The appellant contends that the trial

court erred in overruling his [sic]

motion to exclude because the State

failed to prove a prima facie case.

In considering the question of

whether the trial judge properly

overruled that motion, we can only

consider that evidence which was before

«igo

etree

the trial judge at the time the motion to

exclude was made. Williams v. State, 340

So.2d 1144 (Ala. Crim. App.), cert

denied, 340 So.2d 1149 (Ala. 1976).

For unlawful possession of a

controlled substance, it is not necessary

to prove manucaption, but constructive

possession may be shown, anc where such

possession is relied upon, the State must

also prove beyond a reasonable doubt that

the accused knew of the presence of a

prohibited substance. Riggirs v, State,

German v. State, supra;

Dolvin v. State 319 So.2d 133 (Ala.

In this case there is no argument

with the proposition that where drugs

were found on the premises under control

of the appellant an inference may arise

that the appellant had knowledge and

possession of them. The particular

difficulty in this case is whether there

was sufficient evidence of the

appellant's control of the premises to

authorize an inference of her knowledge

and constructive possession of the drugs

found on those premises. The appellant

argues that evidence of control was

insufficient because there was no

evidence that she was ever physically

present in the mobile home. A thorough

review of the evidence in this case, and

the authorities on this point, danitiaiiiid

The appellant further argues that her

admission of living at the trailer was in

violation of her Miranda richts. This

testimony was elicited by appellant's own

counsel during cross-examination of

Officer Rhegness and was not objected to

Guring trial. As a result, such argument

has not been preserved for our review.

This court may only review rulings of the

trial court that are adverse to the

appellant. Moreover, error cannot be

predicated upon admission of testimony

which is elicited by defense counsel and

is responsive to defense questions.

A review of the evidence in this case

reveals that the trial judge did not err

in overruling the appellant's motion to

II

The appellant contencs that the trial

court erred in allowing the prosecutor to

proceed in a manner that was prejudicial

to her.

In her brief the appellant notes a

large number of instances wrere the

prosecutor made comments or asked

questions and she contends ¢uch questions

and comments were prejudiciél to her.

She also argues that several] comments

made by the prosecutor durirg opening and

closing statements were improper and

prejudicial. It should be noted that the

appellant's trial counsel did not object

to a number of the questions she claims

were prejudicial and, while he did object

to several other questions and comments,

he did not invoke a ruling by the trial

court. As regards appellant's complaint

about improper closing argument, we have

carefully examined such argument and find

of} «

ST AVAILABLE COPY

the appellant's contention to be without

merit. While in argument to ie Sum,

counsel may not argue as a fact that

which is not in evidence, nevertheless he

may state or comment on proper inferences

from the evidence and may draw

conclusions from the evidence based upon

his own reasoning. Sanders v State, 433

So.2d 348 (Ala. Crim. App. 1982);

(Ala. Crin. App. 1977). The prosecutor,

as does defense counsel, has a right to

present his impressions from the

evidence. Sanders v State, supra; Hayes v

1980), cert. denied, 395 So.2d 150 (Ala.

every legitimate inference and may

examine, collate, shift and treat the

evidence in his own way. Sanders y State,

Furthermore, in this case appellant's

counsel did not object to any of the

statements relied upon by appellant.

"Generally, improper argument is not a

valid ground for motion for a new trial

or subject to review on appeal, unless

there is timely and specific objection by

counsel or motion to exclude, an adverse

ruling thereon by the trial court, or

refusal of the trial court to make a

ruling, and an objection thereto." Thomas

We have carefully reviewed the

questions and comments of the prosecutor

during the trial of the case. As stated

above, the complained of questions were

not objected to at the trial level, or

o23~

there was no ruling invoked by the

appellant's counsel. Our review on

IIl

The appellant argues that the trial

court erred in overruling her motion for

a new trial and assigns several reasons

therefor.

A

She argues that the trial court erred

in failing to exclude the items which

were seized from the residerce.

The Alabama Supreme Court has held

that the admission of various items of

drug “paraphenalia" is permissible in

order for the State to show the complete

story. Furthermore, evidence of other

drugs and paraphenalia seized in the

search of defendant's home, but not

encompassed in the charge ayainst the

defendant, is admissible to show the

whole story. Beasley v State, 408 So.2d

173 (Ala. Crim. App. 1981), cert. denied,

408 So.2d 180 (Ala. 1982); Casey v State,

406 So.2d 1029 (Ala. Crim. App.), cert

~ remand, 55 Ala. App. 717, 317 So2d 347,

cert. denied, 294 Ala. 346, 317 So.2d 348

(1975).

In this case the officers were

searching under a valid search warrant

and the execution of such wérrarnt was

proper. Under these circumstances the

evidence seized was admissible as

evidence of the crime for which the

appellant was convicted. See Baty yv

State, supra. Moreover, the State

properly showed a complete chain of

custody for each item seized and entered

into evidence. See Sturdivant v State,

439 So.2d 184 (Ala. Crim. App. 1983);

Riggins v State, 437 So.2d 631 (Ala.

Crim. App. 1983); Luster v State, 433

f -26-

So.2d 481 (Ala. Crim. App. 1983); Congo v

State, 409 So.2d 475 (Ala. Crim. App.

1981), cert. denied, 412 So.2d 276 (Ala.

1982); Holley v State 447 So.2d 829 (Ala.

Crim. App. 1983).

B

The appellant further argues that the

trial court should have grarted her a new

trial because the jury returned a general

verdict which did not refer to any

specific controlled substance for which

she was charged with possessing. She was

charged in a three count indictment with

the possession of three separate drugs.

It is the rule in Alabama that a general

verdict of guilty on a multiple count

indictment is valid where the evidence

would sustain the verdict of guilty under

one or more counts and the sentence

imposed is no greater than could have

been imposed on any one of the counts.

In this case the evidence was sufficient

to find a verdict of guilty on each count

-

in the indictment. Furthermore, the

appellant was sentenced well within the

limits for the offense.

Cc

The appellant also contends that the

trial court should have concucted a

perjury hearing as to a particular

State's witness and failure to do so was

error. She contends that ske never made

a statement to Officer Rhegress, or to

anyone, about living in the mobile home.

In order to obtain a new trial on the

basis of the use of perjurec testimony by

the State, a defendant must allege and

prove (1) that the testimony was

perjured; (2) that it was on a matter of

such importance that the truth would have

prevented a conviction; (3) that the

State had knowledge that the testimony

was perjured; and (4) that the defendant

was not negligent in discovering the

falsehood and in raising the issue.

Waldrop v State, 448 So.2d 490 (Ala.

-28-

Crim. app. 1984); Phelps v State, 439

So.2d 727 (Ala. Crim. App. 1983);

Pennington v State, 420 So.2d 845 (Ala.

Crim. App. 1982); Barnes vy State, 415

So.2d 1217 (Ala. Crim. App. 1982);

Summers vy State, 366 So.2d 336 (Ala.

Crim. App. 1978), cert. denied , 366

So.2d 346 (Ala. 1979). In the present

case the appellant failed to satisfy this

burden of proof. The trial court did not

err in denying the motion for new trial

on this point.

Moreover, a decision on a motion for

a new trial rests largely within the

discretion of the trial court, and, in

reviewing such a decision, the appellate

court will indulge every presumption in

favor of the correctness thereof. Ward v

State, 440 So.2d 1227 (Ala. Crim.App.

1983).

IV

The appellant contends that the trial

court erred in refusing several of her

~29~-

LE COPY &

requested written requested charges.

However, only one of these refused

charges has been preserved for our review

pursuant to Allen vy State, 414 So.2d 989

(Ala. Crim. App. 1981), affirmed, 414

So.2d 993 (Ala. 1982). The appellant's

contention that the trial court

improperly refused the preserved written

requested charge is without merit.

"The refusal of a charge, though a

correct statement of law, shall not

be cause for a reversal if it appears

that the same rule of law was

substantially and fairly given to the

jury in the court's general charge or

in charges given at the request of

the parties.”

Ala. Code 12-16-13 (1975). See Campbell

y State, 423 So.2d 284 (Ala. Crim. App.

1982); Lambeth v State, 380 So.2d 923

(Ala. 1979); Williams v State, [Ms. 8

Div. 940, January 31, 1984], So.2d

_.. (Ala. Crim. App. 1984).

We have reviewed the refused charge

and find that it was fully covered in the

trial court's oral charge to the jury.

~$@—

Therefore, there is no basis of error to

reversal on this issue.

V

The appellant contends that the trial

court's consideration of a pre-sentence

report on her constituted a denial of due

process because it consisted of "a pack

of lies". She contends that the report

contained false accusations and that her

attorney challenged such report at the

sentencing hearing. This court is bound

by the record and not by allegations or

arguments in brief reciting matters not

disclosed by the record. Eaton v State,

423 So.2d 352 (Ala. Crim. App. 1982);

Harris v State, 420 So.2d 812 ((Ala.

Crim. App. 1982); Hollins v State, 415

So.2d 1249 (Ala. Crim.App 1982). There

is nothing in the record before us which

Supports the claim of the appellant.

The judgment of the trial court is

due to be and is hereby affirmed.

AFFIRMED. All the judges concur.
