Pursuing Justice For You In Criminal Appeals

Last updated on October 11, 2024

Minnesota’s criminal appeals system is designed to give individuals who have been convicted a second chance. Minnesota’s criminal appellate courts review other courts’ decisions to overturn convictions or improper sentences. Appealing a conviction to the trial court, the Minnesota Court of Appeals, the Minnesota Supreme Court, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals or the United States Supreme Court gives a person another chance to prove innocence on a criminal charge. Let our knowledgeable Fergus Falls appeals attorneys at CJB Law help you pursue your options.

What Can Be Grounds For Appeal?

A criminal appeal may stem from an error in your original case, such as suppressed evidence, a mistake by the prosecution or a questionable decision by the judge. Appeals may also be triggered by a violation of your constitutional rights, including:

• The right to due process
• The right to an attorney
• The right to confront accusers
• The right to a speedy trial
• Freedom from illegal search and seizure
• Unlawful arrests
• The right not to testify against oneself
• The right not to be charged with the same crime twice

Should You Appeal Your Conviction? Let An Attorney Help You Decide.

Sometimes, people are convicted of crimes they did not commit. Even when the judge, jury and prosecution are trying to uphold justice, mistakes happen. If you have been wrongfully convicted, you may be able to pursue an appeal to clear your name.
