About Criminal Appeals

An aggrieved party is one who receives an adverse decision by the courts and maintains the right to file an appeal of the case with the higher courts. Our court system in California is comprised of three levels. In the lower trial courts, the prosecution and defense present their cases before a judge and jury, the Court of Appeals for review of trial court cases, and the California Supreme Court involves important decisions regarding legal issues and some review of cases lost in appeals court.

Every individual has the right to a fair trial and when a defendant receives an unfavorable decision, he or she can appeal a case at the next highest court. It is important to have an experienced attorney review a case for possible grounds for a criminal appeal due to a mistake or other factors that had an influence on the outcome of a case. The first step is filing of a Notice of Appeal. The case is reviewed by the higher court based on the facts of the case with no new evidence permitted. Common errors are the decision of the lower courts to allow or disallow certain critical evidence or the failure to apply appropriate law to the facts of the case. Mistakes occur during trials by the attorneys, jurors or the judge and those mistakes can affect the outcome of a criminal case.
