State Crimes

States criminalize a broad range of conduct that can subject a person to significant imprisonment. Examples of state crimes include homicide, assault, robbery, drug possession, money laundering, fraud, forgery, larceny, extortion, official misconduct, falsifying business records, computer crimes, endangering the welfare of a child, and sex crimes including rape, sexual abuse, and child pornography.

Issues on Criminal Appeals

A criminal appeal argues that errors occurred in a case that resulted in the wrongful conviction of the accused.  There are many types of errors that can occur in a criminal prosecution and at any stage of the case (see examples of Pre-Trial Errors, Trial Errors, and Sentencing Errors). A criminal appeal to an appeals court argues for reversal of the case on the ground that one or more errors denied the defendant of due process or a fair sentence. Among the errors that may be alleged is that there is insufficient evidence of guilt of the crime(s) charged.
