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.
Enderlin is a city in Cass and Ransom counties in the U.S. state of North Dakota. The population was 947 at the 2000 census. Enderlin was founded in 1891. The name is derived from the semi-German "End der Line" ("end of the line"), as the city was once a railroad terminus. Railway shipping remains an important part of the local economy, especially since facilities in nearby towns have closed down. Another important part of the local economy is a sunflower processing plant located several miles east of town.
