Question

Ashley has been arrested for armed robbery. Her case was heard at a circuit court, where a jury of her peers found her guilty. Ashley and her lawyer want to appeal that decision. If her appeal is granted, which court will now here her case?

Answer 1

appellate court
The appellate court will then review the case and decide whether the circuit court made a mistake. The appellate court will not give Ashley a new trial; they will just take another look at what happened in the original trial.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: Supreme court
In united states, both civil and criminal cases is being handled by the lower court first, on local level. When either of parties involved in the case are not satisfied with the decision, those people could ask for an appeal so the case can be handled on either state or federal level, and the court that would handle them would be the supreme court.
