If you know how it would work for 1st Degree Murder that would help too.
Thanks!

Normally an appeal is based on some alleged bad procedure. It rarely is based on the facts as those are decided by the jury.

In short, there are numerious appeals that can be made. They use appeal to attack every detail of a csae. If they can find any mistakes they could get off of the sentance on a techicality, if on death row it prolongs the sentence possibly for the whole natural life of an inmate. A sentence is not the final sentence. So appeal was technically there for someone wrongfully accused to defend themself and may reverse and release them. But attorneys and the convicted use it to try to get away with Murder, pardon the pun.
Hope that helps.
