Can a sentenced prisoner in custody be let out on appeal bond?
Whether or not a prisoner in custody can be let out on an appeal bond depends on the appeal court. In this state, it is quite rare but it has happened. It probably happens when one judge looks through the appeal brief and decides that the case will be overturned on appeal. That has happened in every instance so far. An exception might occur. Since many appeals simply claim that the evidence did not support some of the charges, the verdict stands. The sentence will be corrected. No appeal bond would be issued.
