Appealing Trial Court Decisions

Summary

An accused can appeal a conviction or sentence to a higher court, focusing on legal errors rather than re-examining evidence. The appellate court reviews the trial courts application of the law. If there was a legal error in admitting evidence, the Court of Appeal could exclude it. Consulting with a lawyer is crucial to understand the grounds for appeal and the process involved.
