A criminal defendant’s sentence generally is reversed only upon a successful appeal from the criminal defense attorney or other lawyer assigned to litigate the appeal. Very few of the cases brought to the criminal appellate level result in reversal of the conviction. The lawyer must prove generally that there was an error of criminal procedure, an error in the application of the criminal law, or an error in the administration of criminal justice. If the police made an error and violated the civil and/or constitutional rights of the criminal suspect, then the conviction could be reversed. A sentence may also be reversed on appeal if it is proven that the sentence was inappropriate, excessive, or in violation of statutory guidelines.
