I went to trial for doing 50 in a 35. (porter county, IN). I tried to show that the radar gun used by the officer was not functioning properly. He admitted that he did not calibrate the gun at all, he also admitted that he did not use or have any log to that effect. He also said that he did not know enough about how the radar gun works or anything about tuning forks. The judge asked me if I had a manual on the gun. I didn't. So she found me guilty. Can I now appeal her decision?

Any court decision can be appealed. The problem is that unless there was legal mistake made by the judge an overturning is highly unlikely. Besides you will spend by far on the appeal than you would on the fine.

the load of information is often on the prosecution. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, the incontrovertible fact that a regulation enforcement officer reported the offense and wrote a cost ticket is considered sufficient information, and for this reason the load shifts to the accused to refute the information.

You can file for leave to appeal.
It might end up costing you a whole lot more than the fine itself.
