Question

Which event must take place first in order for the appeals process to take place?

The Supreme Court rules on a case.
An individual is found guilty during a trial.
An individual appeals a sentence.
A case is sent to the court of appeals.

Answer 1

I believe an individual appeals a sentence first.

An appeal is requested when you want a review of a final decision in a district court or its agencies.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. An individual is found guilty during a trial.

Step-by-step explanation:

In law, an appeal process refers to the process in which one of the parties involved in a trial does not agree with the decision taken by a state or federal court (lower court) usually because the party believed there errors in the process and therefore asks the Supreme Court to review the case. This is only allowed in certain law cases depending on the jurisdiction of a country, implies a long process and the Supreme Court usually accepts only a limited number of cases or only cases in special circumstances to be reviewed. Considering this, it can be concluded the first step or stage for the appeal process is that a lower court has taken a decision or an individual has been found guilty during a trial and this party does not agree with the decision, because without this step it is not possible to begin the appeal process.
