If you have been convicted of a crime, there still may be a chance to have your conviction overturned on appeal. The right of criminal defendants to appeal their conviction is established under both the California and United States Constitution. If you believe that you or your business has been wrongfully convicted of a crime, a criminal appeal could give another chance for a convicted person or business to obtain justice. A criminal trial may be subject to reversal on appeal on many different grounds, such as jury misconduct, improper introduction of tainted evidence, improper or biased testimony by witnesses, improper arguments by the prosecutor or your own trial attorney, faulty jury instructions, improper exclusion of evidence that may have supported your defense, imposition of an excessive sentence, and other mistakes, errors and misconduct.
