Terms Used In Alabama Code 12-21-221
- Conviction: A judgement of guilt against a criminal defendant.
- 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
There shall be no exclusion of a witness in a criminal case because, on conviction of the defendant, he may be entitled to a reward or to a restoration of property or to the whole or any part of the fine or penalty inflicted. The witness may be examined touching such circumstances, but the examination goes to his credibility and not to his competency as a witness.
