Do You Need to Hold a Stretch to Get the Benefit? Not necessarily. Stretching a muscle to the full extent of your ability and holding it for 15 to 30 seconds is what's called a static stretch, and there's no harm in stretching that way as long you don't stretch until it hurts.
An appeal is when someone who loses a case in a trial court asks a higher court (the appellate court) to review the trial court's decision. In almost all cases, the appellate court ONLY looks at two things: whether a LEGAL mistake was made in the trial court; AND; whether this mistake changed the final decision (called the judgment) in the case. An appeal is NOT: A new trial with witnesses or a jury;
Allowing inadmissible evidence in a trial is a legal error and grounds for appeal. A lack of convincing evidence to support a guilty verdict. Mistakes made in the judge's instructions to the jury before or during a trial. There are two stages of an appeal in the federal and many state court systems. These stages include appeal from trial court to intermediate appellate court, and then from intermediate appellate court to Supreme Court.
