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.
Eleanor is a town in Putnam County, West Virginia, U.S. , along the Kanawha River. Its population was 1,345 at the 2000 census. The town was established as a New Deal project in the 1930s and named for Eleanor Roosevelt. Like other FDR towns (Greenbelt, MD; Greenhills, OH; Greendale, WI; Hanford, WA; Norris, TN; etc. ), it was a sundown town, for whites only.
