Terms Used In Tennessee Code 40-30-119
- 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.
- Bail: Security given for the release of a criminal defendant or witness from legal custody (usually in the form of money) to secure his/her appearance on the day and time appointed.
- Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
When a new trial or delayed appeal is granted, release on bail shall be determined by the trial judge as provided by law pending further proceedings. In all other cases, the petitioner shall not be entitled to bail.
