An appeal is a petition for reconsideration of a legal action that has been determined by a court of law, in which a sentenced defendant is requesting for a higher court to examine the case that a lower court decided on. An appellate court is the court that hears and sees the cases on appeals and make a decision to see if the appeal will be approved or not. After the appeal is accepted it goes to a new trial and they review the case on record to make sure that the findings were truthful and in accordance to the law. It can also be concluded that an inaccuracy in trial transpired and can be referred back for a new trial. I believe if the appeals were eliminated from the system we would have a great deal of individuals in prison or sentenced to death that did not need to be there and were wrongly accused at times. And there would be a lot of people in prison that are mistakenly accused. Because of the advancement of technology in the this day and age has improved drastically and because of this advancement we can do more with evidence and DNA that were not capable of revealing before this new technology and too me this has made the appeal process even more necessary and so do eliminate the appeal process now would definitely hurt our criminal justice system because these individuals would have no second chance to prove that they are innocent.
