Appeal a sentence or conviction
If you're found guilty of a crime at court, you can appeal against:
- your conviction (the guilty verdict)
- your sentence
- both your conviction and your sentence
Visit the Scottish Courts and Tribunals website to find out what to do if you want to appeal a sentence or conviction.
If you lose your appeal
You can contact the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission if you think there's been a 'miscarriage of justice'.
