Appealing a Criminal Conviction
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.
