In a criminal case, if a person appeals to others, but fails to appeal, then the whole case must enter the second instance procedure. According to the principle of full coverage of criminal proceedings, even the defendant who does not appeal, the court or the defendant himself must hire a lawyer.
Justifiable grounds for appeal usually include:
1. The facts in the original trial were unclear and the evidence was insufficient.
2, improper application of the law, conviction and sentencing errors.
3. Violating the litigation procedure and thus affecting the correctness of the referee.
Generally speaking, the reasons for the appeal come from the opinions of the parties and may not necessarily conform to the actual judgment. However, according to the provisions of China's criminal procedure law, as long as the parties file an appeal within the statutory time limit, the military court of second instance should accept it regardless of whether the reasons are justified or sufficient. After examination, if the reasons for the appeal are incorrect or nonexistent, the appeal may be ruled to be rejected.
