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.
Tipton is a town in Tillman County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 916 at the 2000 census. Tipton also is home to the Tipton's children's Home which was founded in 1928, when Sol Tipton donated a plot of land to the founders. The original Home was in Canadian Texas. Tipton lies on the northern portion of the Tillman Terrace Aquifer, an alluvial aquifer in western Tillman County, associated with the southern extent of the North Fork of the Red River. The farmland surrounding Tipton is noted for high quality soils. "Tipton loam" is considered to be among the most ideal soils in the United States. Much of the farmland is devoted to irrigated cotton. Other crops include Alfalfa, silage corn, and wheat. Truck crops were grown in this area until the 1950s and have made a recent comeback.
