The American Bar explains how the standards of Criminal Appeals are an essential part of the
justice system and how individuals decide to formally admit to testifying. The first step to
deciding whether innocence or guilt is at stake. The appellate court tries cases that have already
been heard and ensures the trial was fair and all proceedings were fair and just to be applied. The
