Types of Appeals in Ann Arbor Sex Crime Cases

In most sex crime cases, provided you comply with strict time restraints that likely only provide you with a couple weeks to challenge the decision made by the court, you will have the right to appeal to at least one higher authority. In those cases in which you do not have the ability to appeal by right, you may appeal by application for leave by requesting permission from the court to file an appeal.

Appealing the verdict in a sex crime case may lead to a retrial, or could allow the defendant to go free, depending on the specific reasons behind the successful appeal. It is extremely difficult to find grounds to successfully appeal a verdict in a case, and you will have to show that a significant mistake or bias changed the verdict reached by the jury or judge, so always speak to a lawyer and consider all options before making a decision in your case.

Appealing the sentence in an Ann Arbor sex crime case may also be an option. In sentence appeal cases, the defendant accepts the verdict but challenges the sentence based on significant differences between the facts of the case and the sentence, or the sentence and the guidelines set for that sex crime offense.

No matter what the specifics of your case, it is crucial that you don’t accept a subpar result when there is still more you can do to fight back. Grabel & Associates will work with you throughout the appellate process, walking you through everything that you need to do in order to prepare a successful appeal. Because you will not receive a new trial, and simply be able to have the initial case reviewed along with a written brief prepared by your attorney, the legal team you choose to work with and the time you take to go back over the details of your case will largely determine the outcome of your appeal.
