Terms Used In Alabama Code 6-9-85

  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • property: includes both real and personal property. See Alabama Code 1-1-1

When a defendant in execution shall own, or be entitled to, an undivided interest in any property not exclusively in his own possession, such interest may be levied on and sold by the sheriff without taking the property into actual possession, and such sale shall vest in the purchaser all the interest of the defendant in such property.
