Terms Used In New Hampshire Revised Statutes 608:5
- 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.
- Prosecute: To charge someone with a crime. A prosecutor tries a criminal case on behalf of the government.
If the appellant fails to prosecute his appeal, his recognizance shall remain in force, and the court may award such costs to the complainant as it deems just.
