Re: appeal to supreme court
MCA 99-35-115 indicates the judge will decide if you are to be allowed bail pending an appeal to the Miss. Supreme Court or Court of Appeals. Usually the Court will make a decision about 9 months after the briefs are submitted. The probability your appeal will be considered is 100% and you will have to pay costs of appeal unless you are indigent. If you are indigent the county is required to pay the docket, record, and transcription costs. If an attorney was appointed to represent you, the attorney has the responsibility to represent you on appeal as well if one is to be made. If you represented yourself in trial and are indigent, on motion the Supreme Court could require an attorney to be appointed for you and that the county pay the costs of appeal.
