- Explain how these rights and due process can be the basis for an appeal of a criminal trial.
- To which court can the verdict from a state trial be appealed (use your state as an example)?
- To which court can the verdict from a federal trial court be appealed (again, use your state as an example)?
- Is there an intermediate court of appeals in your state or federal system?
- Which is the court of last resort (highest appeals court) in your state and in the federal courts? Does this court have original jurisdiction over any criminal actions?
