- Appellate: About appeals; an appellate court has the power to review the judgement of another lower court or tribunal.
- Bail: Security given for the release of a criminal defendant or witness from legal custody (usually in the form of money) to secure his/her appearance on the day and time appointed.
- Person: includes a corporation, firm, company or association. See Tennessee Code 1-3-105
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
In case the appropriate appellate court or any appellate court judge shall be of the opinion that under the circumstances stated by the trial judge the trial judge abused discretion in so denying bail, the appellate court or any appellate court judge may admit the person so convicted to bail pending the disposition of the appeal by the appellate court.
