Answer 1

Answer: The appellate court does not hear new REVERSE EVIDENCE.

Explanation: The APPELLATE COURT in legal terms can be defined as a court having the power, right, or authority to interpret and apply the law to hear appeals and review a lower court's decisions.

Reverse evidence is facts or observations that is presented to disprove an element of information.

In a court case, the appeallate court has the jurisdiction to hear a case already decided by a lower court but on the condition that no new reverse judgement is presented.

Answer 2

Answer: The appellate court does not hear new "REVERSED EVIDENCE".

Explanation: The appellate court which is commonly known as the court of appeal, is a court that only uses the trail of the court judgement to decide if the case should proceed for further hearings and trails, or if the court judgement is enough to end a case. The court of appeal gives a person a second chance to upturn a case for second judgment by a higher court.

Reversed evidence is where a defendant tries to introduce an evidence that shows that a third party has also committed the same crime which he has been accused. The appellate court does not hear those evidence, as it is a new evidence, which is not among the trail judgement.
