How do appeals work for military cases?
An appeals court looks at the case to see if the court martial made a legal mistake that treated the service member unfairly or unlawfully.
Possible issues that an appeal can uncover include:
- Mistakes or wrongdoing in the dismissal of a jury/panel member
- Insufficient evidence to warrant a conviction
- Errors or mistakes made by the military judge
- Sentences not commensurate to the crime
- Unreasonable multiplication of charges against the defendant
Like any criminal case, the appeals process can be very complicated. If you are seeking an appeal, you need to take action today by reaching out to the experienced Honolulu military defense attorney from our firm.
