Appealing the Death Penalty

Many offenders who have been sentenced to death will appeal the sentence. Once all of the appeals have been used, the criminal defense will often resort to asking for a writ of habeas corpus. This is not commonly given, even to those who have been sentenced to death. However, if an experienced criminal lawyer makes the request, the appellate courts may review the records and briefs very carefully to see if a death sentence is warranted.
