- Conviction: A judgement of guilt against a criminal defendant.
- state: when applied to the different parts of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the several territories of the United States. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
If the appeal is taken by the state in cases instituted in its name by the Attorney General or a district attorney, no security for costs shall be required. In all other cases, security for costs shall be required as in appeals to the Supreme Court in civil actions, and such appeal shall not suspend the judgment of conviction.
