226 So. 2d 676 | Ala. Ct. App. | 1969
This is an original motion for suspension of sentence and for the setting of a "reasonable" appeal bond, pending an alleged appeal to this Court.
Appeal bond after conviction is regulated by Code 1940, T. 15, § 372, as amended. The provisions affording bail pending appeal in said amended § 372 are not within the influence of Constitution 1901, § 16, which prohibits excessive bail.
In Ex parte Thompson,
The procedural aspect aside, we must deny the present application as being without merit because under Code 1940, T. 15, § 368(a), suspension of sentence on appeal must be "taken at the time of judgment rendered." See Patterson v. State,
Application denied.
