Having a West Valley criminal defense attorney who understands how and when to appeal justice court cases matters. West Valley Justice Court cases can be appealed within 28 days of any final judgment and sentence. A De Novo appeal means to do it all over again. So, if you had a jury trial in the West Valley Justice Court and lost, you can appeal and do it all over again in the District Court with a different judge and possibly a different prosecutor.
Having a 2nd try at having another jury trial is beneficial. You can learn what the prosecutor’s theory of the case is. You can see how to handle government witnesses more effectively having already seen them once in the justice court. There are ample reasons why appealing your suppression motion loss or conviction to the district court can really matter.
