Sometimes it backfires on the defendant.
In the majority of cases, the appellate court upholds the lower court's rulings and nothing changes. However the case against Fatjon Kazazi is unusual in two ways. First, Kazazi filed two separate appeals in his case and the latter one, at least in part, was successfully heard by the Sixth District Court of Appeals. However, the second noteworthy part of his appeal, is that despite his success in the second filing, it resulted in him receiving more time in prison than what he would have otherwise served.
