Today in Pfeiffer (as in Michelle Pfeiffer), the CCA ruled the State is not required to file a separate notice of appeal to pursue a cross-appeal:

Let me hammer on that stake a few times, too. Good riddance! Thankfully, cross-appeals, like vampires, are fairly rare.

Until they step into the sunlight. Then they are considerably less rare.

Don't cross appeals repel vampires?

Only civil cross appeals.

I mean silver, not civil. My bad.

Silver is the repellent. Civil is the source, much like Transylvania.

Then I must not be a vampire, because I never found civil as appealing as criminal law. Though I do tend to sparkle in the sunlight on those rare occassions I take my shirt off at the beach.

Yes, I have no doubt that you sparkle, Newell.

Oh don't worry. My preferred beach attire is a turtleneck.
