Many people do not realize it, but an appeals court cannot overturn a trial court finding if it could be justified by looking at all evidence supporting it in the best possible light and all evidence opposing it in the worst possible light.

Then it falls into the hands of 'We the people' to overturn this conviction and sentence.
