Re: apealls trail
Yes, an appeal to the Circuit Court is de novo, meaning it starts all over again. You could be given anything up to the maximum sentence. If you filed a motion to reconsider sentence within 90 days of the district court sentence, that sentence could NOT be increased, and you would see the same judge that sentenced you. Please feel free to contact me directly with more specific questions.
