Text: Crim. P. 37 (Rule 37), entitled Appeals from county court, provides, as pertinent here, that [t]o appeal the appellant shall, within thirty days after the day of entry of the judgment or the denial of post trial motions, whichever is later, file notice of appeal in the county court.... Thus, Rule 237 and Rule 37 combine to provide a thirty-day opportunity to file a notice of appeal from a judgment entered by a municipal court of record. Hence, the impact of these various provisions is that appeals from municipal courts NOT of record go to the county court, are tried de novobecause of the absence of a recordand must be filed within ten days. To the contrary, appeals from municipal courts of record, like appeals from county courts, go directly to the district court, are reviewed on the record, and must be filed within thirty days.
