Is an appeal court a trial court?

In: US Constitution [Edit categories]

Answer:

No, an appeals court hears arguments that there was something wrong with the way a trial was conducted; if there was an error the case goes back to trial. A trial court hears testimony and decides what is fact (truth, or what actually happened), then makes a judgment based on the facts.
