A criminal trial appeal lets convicted defendants challenge errors from their original criminal trial before a higher court, not a retrial, but a review of how the law was applied.

An appeal examines whether procedural rules were followed, whether evidence was properly admitted, and whether constitutional rights were upheld.

An artificial intelligence defense is a legal strategy in which a party argues that an AI system, rather than human decision-making or intent, was responsible for conduct at issue in civil litigation, regulatory proceedings, or criminal matters. Courts and regulators increasingly encounter disputes where algorithmic systems influence outcomes, create liability exposure, or raise questions about accountability and causation. The procedural and substantive validity of an AI defense depends on whether the defendant can demonstrate that the AI operated within its design parameters, that human oversight was absent or deficient, and that the system's output, not intentional conduct, drove the alleged harm. This article addresses the legal framework for AI defenses, how courts evaluate algorithmic causation, the liability posture of entities deploying AI systems, and the evidentiary challenges parties face when algorithmic conduct becomes central to the claim.
