What is appealing a criminal conviction? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
Formally asking the next higher court to review the case and hopefully reverse the trial court's conviction. Matters of fact are generally accepted; interpretations of law made in the trial court are the issues for appeal. So an appeals court would decide whether or not evidence should have been admitted or if proper procedure was followed. Most appeals are unsuccessful.
