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.
Poy Sippi is a town in Waushara County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 972 at the 2000 census. According to the Poy Sippi Public Library website The Pine River was called "Poygan Sippi" by Potawatomie Indians, because it flowed into Poygan Lake. The name was contracted to Poy Sippi. It is said to be a corruption of an Indian word meaning "Sioux river. " [Source: The Romance of Wisconsin Place Names. ] Poy Sippi has often been described as a "little Swiss village" because of its location between two high hills. During any season, one cannot help but be aware of the beauty of these tree-covered hills when driving into Poy Sippi from either a north or south direction.
