Answer to Question 1

If a defendant is sentenced to prison following trial, he will remain there until the appeal is heard, if it ever is. However, for a select few convicts, the judge will issue a stay, which means the convicted individual will not serve time before the appeal is heard.

Answer to Question 2

When a defendant appeals, he or she is claiming that the court made an error. Thus, the appeal guarantees that a defendant who is found guilty can challenge his or her conviction. Further, the appeal guarantees that another judge or panel of judges, disconnected from the initial trial, will make the relevant decision.
