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.
Port Clyde is the southernmost settlement on the St. George peninsula in central/coastal Maine and part of the town of St. George in Knox County, Maine, United States. In the 1800s Port Clyde became a busy port featuring granite quarries, tide mills for sawing timber, and shipbuilding and fish canning businesses. By the 1900s the area attracted artists and writers. The Country of the Pointed Firs was written by Sarah Orne Jewett in St. George. Port Clyde's harbor was originally known as Herring Gut. Marshall Point is Port Clyde's southernmost extremity, site of the Marshall Point Lighthouse. The Marshall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde is the lighthouse Tom Hanks ran to in Forrest Gump
