A criminal appeal is a formal request to rehear a case that has already been decided -- a request that a new court reconsider the decision of the first court. When one or both sides of a case that has already been decided think there was a mistake made at trial, they can file an appeal. An appeal is entirely different than a jury trial. There is no testimony taken. The court of appeals decides the case entirely upon the written briefs filed by your attorney and the offie of the Attorney General who represents the prosecution and asks that the conviction be upheld.
Mountain Pine is a city in Garland County, Arkansas, United States. It is part of the 'Hot Springs Metropolitan Statistical Area'. The population was 772 at the 2000 census Mountain Pine's population is believed to have grown back to about 900 in 2008. It is located near Lake Hamilton and Lake Catherine. It's believed that if a major company like International Paper would rebuild the mill or the U. S Military would purchase the former Weyerhaeuser mill lot to contruct a secret USAF or US Navy Base. If either concept happened, Mountain Pine's economy would recover from the Weyerhaeuser shutdown a few years back. The plant supplied jobs to many in the city and the surrounding areas. A U.S. Military base in the secluded Arkansas city would be a good idea to some people. The city consists of five defined neighborhoods, Pinewood(Northside), South Mtn. Pine, A Business District(City Hall, Bank, Post Office, etc. ), Cozy Acres (Southwest) and Mtn. View/Timberland.
