Re: “Furthermore convicts who plead guilty appeal their cases all the time.”
I am hearing that for the first time.
Defendants who plead guilty swear - under penalty of perjury - that they have committed the crime they are charged with.
They also swear - under penalty of perjury - that they will not seek new discovery, appeal their case, or seek a new trial.
Perhaps you can give me a couple of current examples of defendants who are appealing their guilty pleas?
Thanks.

You need to get out more and read the news. Also Flynn was never sentenced or convicted. The DOJ dropped the case. The appeals court also ruled in Flynn’s favor.
