The book ""The Necessity for Criminal Appeal: As Illustrated by the Maybrick Case and the Jurisprudence of Various Countries"" was written by Joseph Hiam Levy and published in 1899. The book explores the importance of criminal appeals in the justice system, using the infamous Maybrick case as an example. Levy argues that without the ability to appeal a criminal conviction, innocent individuals may be wrongly convicted and punished. The Maybrick case was a highly publicized trial in which James Maybrick was accused of poisoning his wife. Levy uses this case to illustrate how the lack of a criminal appeal process can lead to a miscarriage of justice. He also examines the jurisprudence of various countries, including the United States and England, to demonstrate how criminal appeals function in different legal systems. Overall, Levy's book advocates for the implementation of a criminal appeal process in all legal systems, arguing that it is necessary to ensure fair and just outcomes in criminal cases.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
