Criminal Appeals
Attorney David D. Diamond is a State Bar Certified Criminal Law Specialist. His decades of experience are exactly what you need to overcome your criminal charges.
If you have reason to believe that a legal error was made during your trial,
or if misconduct occurred amongst the jurors, you might be eligible to
file a criminal appeal. Criminal appeals are what allow your case to be
reevaluated, providing another chance for justice to prevail. All lawmakers
are aware of the fact that mistakes can be made during a trial and many
times this can lead to unfair convictions.
For this reason, appeals laws were set in place to protect the rights of
defendants, offering them second chances at justice. No system is perfect,
but one thing that federal and state courts both have in common is recognition
of the fact that sometimes innocent people are wrongly found guilty. The
appeals process offers an opportunity to remedy this problem, helping
ensure all individuals within the criminal justice system have a fair
shot at proving their innocence.
The Criminal Appeals Process
The appeals process will take place in appellate court, which is a level
above the court of your first trial. The appellate court will review the
written reports from your original trial and will receive written statements
from both your lawyer and the prosecuting attorney. In this report, your
appellate lawyer will point out any legal errors that occurred and/or
any evidence that should be deemed inadmissible. The appellate court will
then decide whether or not to overturn the previous ruling.
