““A right of review in criminal cases by an appellate court is not a necessary element of due process of law, and it is wholly within the discretion of each state to refuse it or grant it on terms, District of Columbia v. Clawans, 300 U.S. 617 , 57 S.Ct. 660 , 81 L.Ed. 843 , provided it does not deny an appeal to certain persons while granting it to others similarly situated. State v. Guerrin ger, 265 Mo. 408 , 178 S.W. 65 ; 16 C.J.S. Constitutional Law § 594, page 1191.” Vernon v. State, 245 Ala. 633, 638 , 18 So.2d 388 .”
