It is very difficult to determine the likelihood of success on an appeal without reviewing the transcript of the proceedings. There are also time factors involved. Presumably, a motion for a new trial was filed as well as a timely notice of appeal.
The convicted person should confer with his defense attorney as soon as possible.
