Dallas criminal appeals lawyer John Helms breaks down the Karmelo Anthony case on FOX 4 and explains what an appeal can and cannot do
- John Helms explained to FOX 4 that an appeal requires identifying a legal error in the trial court rather than simply requesting a second opinion.
- An appeal is not a new trial; appellate judges review the trial record for legal errors that were properly raised and preserved.
- Helms said appellants generally must have objected during the trial to preserve an issue for appeal.
- Helms noted that a guilty verdict alone does not show whether a viable appeal exists.
