A.R.S. 13-4032 and A.R.S. 13-4033 allow direct appeals of the defendant or the State from a post-judgment order affecting the "substantial rights" of the State or the defendant. What orders qualify under this provision as appealable orders?
When a defendant's voluntary absence prevents sentencing from occurring within 90 days after conviction, may the defendant still appeal his convictions and sentences? How can trial prosecutors protect the record at sentencing to ensure that absconding defendants do not receive the windfall of an appeal to which they are not legally entitled?
