The direct criminal appeal is the criminal defendant's first and most important opportunity to challenge a conviction on constitutional grounds. Douglas v. California established the right to appointed counsel for the first appeal of right. Anders v. California created the framework for appointed counsel to withdraw from a frivolous appeal while preserving the defendant's right to independent court review. And Burks v. United States's holding that insufficient evidence requires a judgment of acquittal rather than a new trial is a dimension of the appeal every constitutional warrior must command.
The Constitutional Direct Criminal Appeal Warrior is Volume XCV of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series.
Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the full direct appeal constitutional landscape: the right to appointed counsel on direct appeal — Douglas v. California, Ross v. Moffitt, and the first-appeal-of-right distinction; Anders v. California — the frivolous appeal withdrawal framework, constitutional requirements for an adequate Anders brief, and the Smith v. Robbins alternative; prosecutorial misconduct on direct appeal — the Berger v. United States standard and the harmless error analysis; the Double Jeopardy Clause on direct appeal — Burks v. United States and the insufficiency-of-evidence acquittal requirement; and ineffective assistance of appellate counsel under Strickland.
