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.
Rosendale is a village in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin, United States. The population was 923 at the 2000 census. The village is located partially within the Town of Rosendale and partially within the Town of Springvale. Rosendale is located along Highways 23 and 26 and is approximately 15 miles from the major resort area of Green Lake. Because of this, speed limits are enforced heavily. Local businesses have in recent years begun to sell T-shirts which read "Rosendale: Just the Ticket!" In 2010, a Facebook group encouraging the boycott of Rosendale for "unfair police traffic entrapment" was set up and had several hundred members. When Rosendale got its first and only traffic light installed, the village had a celebration.
