Types of DUI Appeals in Michigan
In Muskegon DUI cases, you can appeal either your verdict or sentence. If you are found guilty and you believe newly discovered evidence could change that result, or if you believe the jury or judge was biased or otherwise acted unlawfully in rendering a guilty verdict, you may be able to appeal the verdict. Appealing a sentence will mean you still are found guilty of the crime, but you may be able to fight for a lighter sentence if you can prove the penalties don’t match Michigan DUI sentencing guidelines, or are otherwise unlawful.
In many cases, you have the right to appeal, which you can utilize within 21 days of a judgment being entered. In some cases, however, you will need the permission of a higher court to appeal, which is referred to as an appeal by application for leave. Always speak to an attorney before taking any action, so that you know what appellate options are available to you after a drunk driving conviction in Muskegon.
