Terms Used In Alabama Code 30-4-61
- 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.
- Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
The defendant, if convicted, shall have the right to appeal as in other misdemeanor cases appealed from the juvenile court. Pending said appeal, upon his entering into bond, with sufficient sureties in such sum as the court may require, he shall be released from custody. If the defendant fails to make the required bond, he shall be confined in the county jail until the appeal is determined.
