Yea' talk is Jodi went to Travis's panicking for to intercept his Bank Statement, = Roadtrip - Slaughtering, Travis was Suing Jodi for Car payments, Bank, Journal theft and chapter of his book theft, maybe stolen engagement ring - he had gave to a girl then break-up, then had the ring resized for I think Lisa' when Jodi took-it, plus her getting on his internet pages.
I was ready to post this;
Yahoo Answers' and the DP or no DP isn't in question or answers, the reality is only Anti-DP groups make more Appeals if sentenced to DP, although the 'Guaranteed' Direct Appeal afronts a PCR appeal resolution, theirs Not any difference (DP or Life) as far as free appeals, Arizona allows Jodi a free Direct Appeal and a free PCR appeal that is asking for relief relating to assumed Direct Appeal ruling reversal, their is a possibility of 3 free Jodi Appeals, only if the PCR is denied on all issues' that appeal can be subsequently advanced to the higher courts (often some issues must be eliminated) of Arizona Supreme Court = Same 5 Judge panel that a Direct Appeal is filed.
Jodi has 3 Arizona courts = JSS/Trial Court, 3 Judge/Appellate Court and 5 Judge/Arizona Supreme Court.
All Arizona appeals must be exhausted before Jodi can take her Case further = as I understand Arizona Law.
Jodi can keep appealing after her PCR appeal and Direct appeal if filed, then become denied, on her own dime' but she must keep back-to-back appealing, again as I understand Arizona Law.
Question is;
How many times can a convicted murderer appeal against his conviction and sentence?
Wondering, is there a limit to how many times a convicted murdered can appeal.

There is a time limit to start appeals of any sort. In my state 90 days. For murder the first appeal is automatic in most states.
The appeals court reviews the transcripts of the trail to find problems.
If the defense can find what they say is a problem with the original trail the start their appeals. Each time they are turned down the can appeal to a successively higher court. guilty in county court to state appeals court to state supreme court to local federal court (if the appeal is based on some sort of problem that is impacted by the constitution) to federal circuit court to US Supreme Court (the Supremes can decide if they want to hear the case or not. If they do not the district court ruling stands.
If any ruling goes against the prosecution they can also appeal the ruling.

Well, theres a direct appeal, if all claims are denied it moves to whats usually called post conviction. You can raise certain issues in post conviction that are not normally proper in a direct appeal, things that were not ripe for review at that time. State direct appeals can pend for 2-3 years or so, post conviction claims can pend for 3-5 years in some cases. After that, what they can raise in a second or successive state post conviction claim is limited. They can file claims requesting DNA tests, they can file again if they plan to prove actual innocence, but they generally can't re-litigate claims already ruled on, but they usually try; nor can they raise claims they could have raised before, but chose not to; they can present claims with "new evidence" if due diligence or a proper investigation would not have been able to lead to them raising the claim before.
After the direct appeal, they can appeal the rulings on that to the US supreme court. After the state courts deny post conviction, the case becomes "Final" for the purposes of Federal law and you move to Federal Habeas proceedings, they normally MUST be filed within 1 year of the state conviction becoming Final, which is when the state denies post conviction relief. Sometimes they also make a usually futile petition to the state supreme court called an "all wris" petition, or sometimes just a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, but habeas corpus is the primary way state defendants use the Federal courts to seek relief.
Once the Federal habeas claim is filed, in the Federal district court, the judge usually holds a trial and makes his rulings. The federal inquiry is narrow, it's looking for State violations of Federal rights or obvious factual errors, it's not meant to be a new trial. These can take 4-5 years or more. Then it's appealed to the circuit court of appeals and then the US supreme court. Once this is denied, Federal courts will only entertain a second or successive habeas petition if it shows actual innocence.
Once both of those are exhausted, it's pretty much over. They can still raise claims, but almost none get much attention from the courts, unless theres new evidence.
