can a convicted person who took a plea deal file an appeal to a higher court, asking it to review the lower court’s decision for legal errors ?
yes
no
For the first question: In most legal systems, a convicted person can appeal to a higher court to review the lower court's decision for legal errors. This is a fundamental part of the judicial process to ensure fairness and correct legal mistakes.
For the second question: A person who took a plea deal generally waives the right to appeal (except in limited circumstances like ineffective assistance of counsel in the plea process, but typically, the standard is they cannot appeal for general legal errors in the plea - based conviction as the plea deal is a voluntary agreement to accept a conviction and sentence).
