Description

TAYLOR, JUDGE The appellant, a 17 year old, was arrested on January 24, 1985, and charged with being a juvenile delinquent, to-wit ""That on or about January 22, 1985, Samuel Eugene Taylor did intentionally cause the death of another person, Kammye Lytorcha Huey, by strangulation and/or beating her with a blunt instrument, in violation of Section 13A-6-2 of the Code of Alabama, against the peace and dignity of the State of Alabama."" On February 1, 1985, the Dallas County District Attorney's Office filed a petition to have the appellant certified to be tried as an adult in the circuit court. On April 16, 1985, a hearing was conducted pursuant to that petition, after which the juvenile court entered an order of transfer directing that he be tried as an adult. This appeal is from that transfer order.
