Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The prosecutor, as the representative of the state in the criminal case, would typically respond to the appellant's brief with a brief of their own arguing that no legal errors occurred. The jury and judge would not typically file briefs in response to an appeal, and the defendant (John Jones) is the one filing the appeal in this scenario.
