After Losing at Trial: Options Include Appeal, Motion for New Trial, Post-Conviction Relief
- File an appeal: Higher court reviews trial record for errors; can reverse verdict and order new trial.
- Ask for a new trial: Present new, material evidence undiscoverable earlier; judge may grant.
- Seek post-conviction relief: If convicted, pursue remedies (new trial, reduced sentence, release) by showing denial of fundamental constitutional right.
