Indianapolis, Indiana Criminal Appeals Lawyer Allen Lidy answers:
Are there any limitations on what can be raised in a criminal appeal in Indiana?
|
|
In an appeal neither party may bring up new evidence, rather, the appellate court will only consider evidence that was discussed in the trial courts and determine whether the lower court made a legal mistake that makes the outcome of the lower court trial void. Instead of being a new trial, an appeal is rather an investigation into whether the previous trial was conducted correctly. Therefore, the parties may only raise issues that happened in the first trial that would make the previous ruling either unfair or illegal due to some mistake in the conduct of the first original trial.
