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.
Frazee is a city in Becker County, Minnesota, United States. It is the second most populous city in Becker County. The population was 1,377 at the 2000 census. Originally named Detroit and later Third Crossing before adopting its present name of Frazee, the plat of the old town site was made on May 27, 1857. With Becker County not formally organized until 1871, it was the earliest settlement in the area. The city was officially incorporated on January 6, 1891. It was named after R.L. Frazee, an early settler who moved his milling business from Ohio to the early settlement that today bears his name. Today it is best known as the home of "Big Tom: the World's Largest Turkey."
