Answer to Question 1

An appeals court may affirm, reverse, or reverse and remand the decision of a lower
court. When an appeals court affirms means that the decision of the lower court
where the case came from is upheld. When an appeals court reverses means the
decision of the lower court where the case came from is overthrown, vacated, or set
aside. When an appeals court reverses and remands, it is less final than a reversal,
and the lower court has the opportunity to hear further arguments and give another
decision in the case.

Answer to Question 2

Sentences can take the form of a fine, community-based sanctions, probation, jail
time (usually for misdemeanors), prison time (usually for felonies), and death. An
example of two of these forms that are not mutually exclusive is when an offender is
given jail and later released on probation.
