a. The conditions of release and posting of bond during the pendency of the appeal shall be governed by Rule 7.2, Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure, provided that the posting of a bond shall not be a condition of the right to file an appeal.

b. Any defendant in custody during the appeal shall receive the same benefits and credits in the computation of the sentence as if no appeal had been taken.

c. Execution of sentence shall be stayed pending appeal when defendant posts bond pursuant to Rule 7.2, Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure, or when the appeal is taken on defendant's own recognizance. “Sentence” shall include any fine, jail term, or other penalty, including a term of probation, imposed by the court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an order requiring the payment of restitution shall not be stayed, but during the pendency of the appeal restitution payments shall be paid to, and held by, the clerk of court.
