In
the state of Ohio, each defendant is entitled to have his or her criminal
conviction reviewed by the court of appeals. This ensures that you were given a
fair trial. An appeal is not a completely new trial where new evidences and
defense strategies are introduced. Instead, if there were legal errors made at
your trial, this appeal may give you the opportunity to have a re-trial and potentially
have your charges or sentence reduced.
How To Make An Appeal
Appeals
do not happen instantaneously. There are rules and limitations that go hand in
hand with an appeal. For example, if you have been convicted of a felony, a
notice of appeal must be filed no more than 30 days after your conviction and
sentence were entered. If the deadline is missed, you can request a delayed
appeal and must offer a valid reason for failing to comply with the deadline
given. There is no guarantee that you will be granted a delayed appeal.
The court of appeals staff cannot
determine if you are eligible for an appeal. The following documents define an
appealable order:
• Ohio Revised Code Section 2505.02
• Ohio Civic Rule 54 (B)
• Ohio Criminal Rule 32
