Generally, anyone convicted in a trial has a right to an appeal. However, it is important to note that appeals only address “errors of law” — you cannot file an appeal just because you disagree with the outcome of your case. Additionally, the appellate court does not reconsider your evidence or take new evidence. Rather, a successful appeal points to things that went wrong during your trial and clearly demonstrates that those errors impacted the decision made by the judge or jury.
