Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
I have a question about appealing a decision. This person was commiting a crime of theft and the other co-defendant murdered the store associate. The one who killed the store associate got life, but the guy who was just there got 50 years, is there a way to go back and appeal the case for a lesser sentence?

If they went to trial then they both have the right to appeal. If they pled guilty with a plea bargain then they will not have a right to appeal.
