Terms Used In Missouri Laws 547.220
- 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.
If an appeal be granted, the court below shall order the defendant to be committed or recognized, and the recognizance shall be to the same effect as the recognizance required when the defendant himself is appellant; and the party, if committed, shall be held in custody until the judgment of the supreme court shall have been passed on the case, to abide such judgment.
