There's no realistic grounds for appeal, probably not even in a country with a more lenient system for appealing criminal convictions. In America, forget it. He's been convicted, he's gonna stay in jail.

Yet his right to appeal is a right that he (and all convicted) have. The likelihood of success doesn't determine whether or not he can file for it.

  I think what TillE was talking about wasn't the likelihood of a successful appeal, but whether or not he'll stay in prison until the appeal is completed.

    Perhaps, but I just can't see that as written. > There's no realistic grounds for appeal

      Realistic grounds for appeal aren't required to file an appeal. They are required to stay out of custody while that appeal is pending, though.

I think parent has a point - I'd love to know if he can potentially buy more time out of jail by forcing an appeal, then requesting bail in the interim, even if it is expected to lose the appeal or is downright dismissed. It sounds like its plausible, but i'd like to know for a fact
