What do I win when I win a criminal appeal

Michael H Fayard
Answered by attorney Michael H Fayard (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Michael Fayard, Attorney at Law
The case being "out of her hands" could mean that the Appeals Court is reviewing the case for an order (whether the result is affirming the lower court's ruling, reversing the ruling, or otherwise). Just because you win an appeal does not mean that you are not guilty.  For instance, the appellate court could rule that you are entitled to a new trial, or that the appeal issue you had was "harmless error" meaning it had bearing on the case and the verdict stands.  That means that you are still on the hook for the charges (all things being equal -- such as the state choosing to retry the case etc).   With that being said, if you had a suppression issue (e.g. a motion to suppress was filed and should have been granted by the trial court), then the appellate court could rule the the evidence should have been suppressed, which could then mean that there is no evidence against you sufficient to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.  Then your case would/should be dismissed.  Again, there are a lot of "ifs" in that hypothetical.  The short answer, however, is that "winning an appeal" really depends on the appellate issue and the remedy provided by that court.

How to get something expunged or sealed?

You can file a request to have your record sealed. It will never be removed from your record, however, it will prevent prospective employers from seeing your record.
