Terms Used In Alabama Code 12-22-111
- 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.
- circuit: means judicial circuit. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
- 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
- Testify: Answer questions in court.
In cases of appeal, the clerk of the court shall issue subpoenas for such witnesses as may be required, both for the state and for the accused, returnable to the next session of the court to which the appeal is taken, which subpoenas shall be executed by the sheriff and returned to such circuit court. If witnesses so summoned fail to appear and testify as required, they shall be liable to the same penalties, forfeitures and proceedings as if the subpoenas had been issued out of the circuit court.
