Answer:

Because what happened with Rodney sometimes happens, the American legal system allows appeals.

Explanation:

  • If a judgment given by a lower court is not acceptable to the defendant and his lawyer, they can choose to appeal in the higher court against the decision of the lower court.
  • The higher court can either accept to hear the case or can return back to the lower court with an order to hold a few more proceedings for reconsideration.
