Federal Crimes and Federal Appeals
Defendants who have been convicted of a federal criminal crime are entitled to file a direct appeal under federal statute 18 U.S.C. §§ 3732, 3742. Examples of federal crimes include:
Embezzlement, white-collar crimes, mail fraud, wire fraud;
Crimes committed on federal property, such as a post office or government building.
The defendant may appeal either the conviction or the sentence imposed after either a guilty plea has been entered, or after a trial. A defendant's conviction is not final until it has been affirmed on direct appeal.
Defendants who file an appeal are known as the "appellate." An appeal is sent to a court of appeals in which the trial court proceedings are reviewed to make sure that all proceedings were carried out in accordance with the law.
Your lawyer may not introduce new evidence in an appeal and an appeal is not a request for a new trial— it is a request for a review of the proceedings that led to a conviction or served as the basis for sentencing.
The appellate court takes into consideration the merits for the appeal and compares that information to existing court records including:
Records of the trial court proceedings; and
Court reporter's transcripts which are the verbatim transcript of oral proceedings.
The appellant does not have to appear in court; most of a criminal appeal is handled in writing by the filing attorney, who may appear in court to argue the appeal, but this is not always the case. Many appeals are decided strictly on the basis of what your attorney files, and the subsequent review by the court of appeals.
