§ 1070 Judgment to be executed on affirmance.

When a higher court reviews a case and agrees with (affirms) the original decision against the defendant, that original punishment or sentence still stands. The court that first made the ruling will carry it out, but the appeals court can give specific instructions on how that should happen.

In simple terms, this means losing an appeal does not erase the original sentence. It confirms the sentence and puts it back into effect. The appellate court has the power to add directions about the timing or method of carrying out that sentence, but the core punishment already decided stays in place.
