On both the federal and state levels, certain post-conviction rights are inalienable to anyone who has been determined guilty of a crime as the result of a court decision. The appellate process includes both direct appeals and what’s called a writ of habeas corpus … two methods by which individuals can have their verdicts reviewed for potential errors. 


However, there are some distinct differences between habeas corpus and direct appeals, and knowing which one to file can be difficult without proper guidance.
