Ala. R. App. P. 9
Release in criminal cases
(a) Review of orders respecting release entered prior to a judgment of
conviction. A review authorized by law from an order refusing or imposing
conditions of release shall be determined promptly. Upon entry of an order refusing
or imposing conditions of release, the trial court shall state in writing the reasons
for the action taken. The review shall be heard without the necessity of briefs upon
such papers, affidavits and portions of the record as the parties shall present. The
appellate court may order the release of the appellant pending the review.
(b) Release pending appeal from a judgment of conviction. Release after
judgment of conviction shall be governed by Code of Alabama, § 12-22-170.
History
