Terms Used In Michigan Laws 774.44
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- 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.
If a defendant takes an appeal from a municipal court in a city that does not adopt a resolution of approval under section 23a of the Michigan municipal court act, 1956 PA 5, MCL 730.523, and withdraws the appeal, or if the circuit court dismisses the appeal leaving the municipal court conviction in effect, the circuit court may enter an order revoking a recognizance and may also direct that the sentence of the municipal court be carried out.
