- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
- writing: includes typewriting and printing on paper. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
In the trial on appeal, the court shall direct or formulate the issue to be tried and shall determine both the facts and the law, unless a jury is demanded in writing by the taxpayer at the time of taking the appeal or within 10 days thereafter, which demand shall be filed in the court to which the appeal is taken.
