ABA urges right to appeal all criminal sentences
The American Bar Association study group urged states and the federal government to give defendants the right to challenge trial judge sentences. Appeals courts would review and could reduce but not increase penalties. Currently 13 states authorize some review, eight others partial, with rare federal review outside the military. Judge Simone E. Sobeloff chaired the advisory panel. The report also recommends appeals courts not be allowed to raise sentences on appeal.
