§ 7-11-506 — Trial transcript for indigent prisoner upon appeal

Any person sentenced to imprisonment in a state penal
institution, who appeals to the supreme court, may file, in the
court in which that person was convicted, a petition requesting
that the person be furnished with a stenographic transcript of
the proceedings at that person's trial. The petition shall be
verified by the petitioner and shall state facts showing that at
the time of conviction and at the time of filing the petition
that person was without financial means to pay for the
transcript. If the judge who imposed sentence, or any other
judge of the court, finds that the defendant is without
financial means with which to obtain the transcript of the
proceedings at trial, the judge shall order the reporter to
transcribe an original and copy of the reporter's notes. The
original of the transcript shall be filed with the clerk and the
copy shall be delivered to the defendant without charge. The
reporter's fees for preparation of the transcript shall be the
same as those prescribed in W.S. 5-3-410, and shall be paid by
the county in which the conviction is had.
