Question

The defendant, Mr. Jones, was convicted in a US District Court of

money laundering charges. Mr. Jones believes he did not receive a
fair trial because his court appointed lawyer slept through most of the
trial. What court would he challenge this in and why?​

Answer 1

Answer: Appeallate Court (In most areas.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the case has already been tried in a district court, there has to be an appeal filed. In this case, Mr. Jones is stating that his trial was unfair, due to the inefficient actions of his lawyer. An appeallate courts responsibility is too review the proceedings of the court and rule if there was any misstep or invalid actions, whether from the judge, jury, prosecution, or defense.
