If a defendant loses at trial, he or she may

A) not appeal the case to a higher court.
B) appeal the case to a higher court.
C) appeal the case to a lower court.
D) sue the judge.

A defendant who loses at trial has the right to appeal the case to a higher court to seek a review of the trial court's decision for errors in how the law was applied or other issues. Appeals are not made to lower courts, and suing the judge is not a standard or appropriate response to losing a case.
