A federal criminal appeal is the first line of contention against a guilty verdict in a federal criminal case. Governed by the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and the laws found in 18 U.S.C. §3732, federal criminal appeals are quite different from normal trials. They take place in a special appellate court that reviews the trial testimony in an attempt to find legal errors. Unlike a regular court, the appellate courts do not render a not guilty verdict if they find a legal error; instead, they usually order a retrial that leaves the defendant open to another guilty verdict.

Trial testimony presented at a federal criminal appeal does not involve live witnesses or actual evidence; instead, transcripts of the prior court proceedings and legal briefs prepared by both the prosecution and the defense factor into the court’s review. On occasion, oral arguments are ordered, but not always. While a federal criminal appeal does not guarantee verdict reversal, some cases that are appealed are ultimately dismissed. The right to an appeal is the same for every defendant unless the defendant has pled guilty or waived his or her right to appeal through a plea bargain.
