Miss. R. Crim. P. 8.3
Release after Conviction and Sentencing
A convicted defendant shall be entitled to bail pending appeal as prescribed by
Mississippi Code Section 99-35-115. A condition of the appeal bond shall be
that the defendant will obey every order and judgment of the Supreme Court or
Court of Appeals or every order and judgment of the trial court affirmed by the
Supreme Court or Court of Appeals. The sheriff shall not accept the appeal
bond unless the appeal has been perfected. If a defendant is admitted to bail
pending appeal, the trial court clerk shall so notify the clerk of the Supreme
Court.
History
Comment: Rule 8.3 generally tracks former Rule 12.01 of the Uniform Rules of Circuit and County Court. Release after conviction and sentencing is governed by statute and uniform rule. See, e.g., Rules 29 (Appeals from Justice or Municipal Court), 30 (Appeals from County Court), and M.R.A.P. 9 (Release in Criminal Cases).
