Terms Used In Missouri Laws 547.180
- 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.
- Indictment: The formal charge issued by a grand jury stating that there is enough evidence that the defendant committed the crime to justify having a trial; it is used primarily for felonies.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
- Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
The recognizance shall, in case of felonies not excepted in section 547.170, be conditioned that the defendant shall appear in the supreme court at the next term thereof, to receive judgment on the appeal or writ of error, and in the court in which the trial or indictment shall have been had, if the supreme court shall so order, and at such time and place as such court shall direct, and that he will render himself in execution, and obey every order and judgment which shall be made in the premises.
