Final answer:

An appeal in law focuses on legal errors, not personal dissatisfaction or innocence claims, often resulting in a new trial with no jury involvement.


Explanation:

An appeal in a legal context is based on errors of law and not merely dissatisfaction with trial outcomes or claims of innocence.

For example, in the case of Ernesto Miranda, who was convicted of sexual assault, his successful appeal did not lead to freedom but to a new trial where he was still convicted due to other evidence.

Appeals focus on legal errors that could impact outcomes and are decided by judges without juries, as juries determine fact in trials.
