AZL posted this on the legal thread. She sooooo ROCKS!!!!!! Plus, she works Pro Bono for all of us :happydance:... thanks are just not enough for someone like her. So here ya' go AZL, we :loveyou:
"There will be one appeal, but also one post-conviction relief proceeding. If the AZ Ct App denies the appeal, it can be taken up to the AZ Supreme Court (which doesn't have to hear the case), and theoretically to the US Supreme Court but that won't happen. The post-conviction proceeding will follow the same path, but involves a hearing at the trial court level first. The state pays for the appeal for indigent persons. I don't think we pay for post-conviction relief counsel except in death penalty cases."
