What is the Appeals Coutr?

Answer 1

"Court of Appeals or (outside the U.S. and in some American states) Court of Appeal is the title of a court which has the power to consider or hear an appeal. A court of appeal is also a superior court.

The thirteen United States Courts of Appeals stand between the United States District Courts (or other comparable federal courts, such as the Court of International Trade) and the United States Supreme Court.

Each state has decided upon its own particular appellate structure.

The general rule in the American justice system is that the loser deserves one appeal. Therefore, such intermediate courts usually have mandatory jurisdiction and must hear an appeal, while the state supreme court (or the U.S. Supreme Court in the federal system) has discretionary jurisdiction and hears an appeal only if it wants to. There exist some special exceptions to this rule. In some state courts, the state's supreme court is required by law to hear all appeals of a certain nature. These cases usually involve the death penalty or cases involving high-ranking government officials."

Answer 2

If a defendant believes that something done during the trial was illegal/unfair or if he believes they came back with an obviously flawwed verdict, he can submit it to a court of appeals. If the court agrees to hear the case, there will be another trial, and a new decision.
