Final answer:

An appeals court can overturn a lower court's ruling if legal errors are identified in the original trial, leading to a new trial to correct these errors.


Explanation:

An appeals court will change a lower court's ruling only if the parties making the appeal argue that mistakes were made in the original trial, such as overlooking evidence or misapplying the law. Appeals are based on questions of law, not questions of fact, and aim to show that legal errors occurred during the trial that could have impacted the outcome.

When an appeal is successful, a new trial may be conducted before a different judge and jury to correct the legal error from the first trial. Appeals courts do not accept new evidence; they analyze the legal procedures and application of law in the original trial.
