In is of the utmost importance that you hire an experienced attorney to represent you on your appeal. You need an attorney with the requisite know-how to argue efficiently and persuasively to the Appellate Justices why mistakes were made in your original case, and why the verdict should be overturned.
There can be a whole host of reasons why your case should be reversed including, but not limited to the following:
- that the Trial Judge may have excluded evidence that the jury should have been allowed to view or hear
- that the Judge permitted evidence that the jury should have not been allowed to view or hear
- that an attorney, either your attorney or the attorney representing the other side, may have made an improper argument that impermissibly influenced the jury
- that your attorney or the attorney representing the other side engaged in misconduct
- that your attorney did not represent you effectively
- that the Trial Judge erred in not granting a Motion for Mistrial
- that the Trial Judge erred in not granting a Motion for Judgement of Acquittal
- that the jury returned an inconsistent verdict, or perhaps there was juror misconduct or jury tampering.
