An appeal of a
conviction is a review
of the court process to
ensure that the law has
been followed and that
the process has been
fair. An appeal is not a
trial, and the appellate
court will not hear
evidence regarding the
facts of the case.
Instead, the appellate
court will review the
transcript of the court
proceeding and written
arguments submitted by
each side. The appellate
court will sometimes
hear oral arguments from
each side regarding the
issue that has made the
process unfair. The
appellate court can deny
the appeal and uphold
the conviction, grant
all or part of the
appeal and send the case
back to the trial court
for further findings or
grant the appeal and
send the case back to
the trail court for a
new trial.
