Miss. R. Crim. P. 32.6

Adopted eff. 7/1/2017.

Comment

Rule 8.3 generally provides that "[a] convicted defendant shall be entitled to bail pending appeal as prescribed by Mississippi Code Section 99-35-115." But Mississippi Code Sections 11-51-11 and 11-51-12 specifically address bond in appeals from criminal and civil contempt judgments. See Miss. Code Ann. §§ 11-51-11, 11-51-12.
