Dallas criminal appeals lawyer John Helms breaks down the Karmelo Anthony case on FOX 4 and explains what an appeal can and cannot do
- An appeal is often mistaken as a second chance to re-argue a case to new judges, but that's not accurate.
- In an appeal, one must identify a legal error made in the trial court; it's not simply asking for another opinion from the appellate court.
- An appeal does not involve a new trial, and no new witnesses or evidence are introduced during this process.
- An appellate court respects the jury's decision unless a genuine legal mistake is shown.
