The local number is unclear, but the defense bar will confirm that it almost never happens. In my fifteen years, I have had two cases where there was bond on appeal. Many individuals are not entitled to bond on appeal, particularly in felony court, because of their prior criminal history. But the trial judge, who watched the entire trial, has the option to allow a defendant to prosecute the appeal from outside of jail providing the defendant meets all the criteria. Essentially, the case continues for a year or two longer while the defendant is on strict release conditions.
