Terms Used In Idaho Code 19-2402

  • 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.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Transcript: A written, word-for-word record of what was said, either in a proceeding such as a trial or during some other conversation, as in a transcript of a hearing or oral deposition.
  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
Any party desiring to procure a record of the evidence, proceedings and exhibits made during the trial of a criminal action in the district court for use on appeal to the Supreme Court may procure such transcript and exhibits in the same way in which a transcript and exhibits are obtained in a civil action. Said transcript shall be ordered, prepared, served, settled, lodged, filed and used in the same way and with the same effect as in a civil action. The provisions of section 10-509 shall apply to a reporter’s transcript in a criminal action.
