Our criminal system is designed to allow persons accused of a crime to defend themselves against accusations in a court of law. Convictions often depend on evidence, testimony, and the perception of a judge or jury to determine guilt and innocence. At the end of a criminal trial, a verdict of guilt or no-guilt is usually entered and the proceedings come to a close. If a person feels that he or she has been wrongly convicted of a crime, they may be able to appeal the conviction and take the trial to a different level.
The criminal justice system is designed to allow people the chance to prove their innocence in court, and despite an original conviction on a crime, people have the right to appeal the decision and have the case heard in court
