After a reversed and remanded from appeals court will you be released?

If a case is reversed and remanded from an appeals court, it typically means that the higher court found an error in the lower court's decision and sent the case back for further proceedings. Whether or not an individual will be released depends on the specifics of the case, including the reasons for the reversal and the instructions given to the lower court. Release is not guaranteed; it may depend on the outcome of subsequent hearings or retrials.

"Reversed" in a court decision means that a higher court has overturned the decision of a lower court.

What is meant by an appeal was sustained?

When an appeal is sustained, it means that a higher court has agreed with the arguments presented in the appeal and has upheld the appellant's request to change or overturn a previous decision made by a lower court.

Essentially, the appellate court finds sufficient grounds to support the appeal, validating the concerns raised by the appellant.


What does it mean when a case is reversed and remanded case remanded for resentencing otherwise affirmed?

It looks like the decision of an appeal court. It's too bad that the question is not posed clearly. An appeal court reverses a decision when it changes the decision that is being appealed from. An appeal court affirms a decision when it decides not to change it. A matter before the courts is "remanded" when it is put over to another day. The word "remanded" is particularly used in criminal matters especially where the accused person is in custody. My guess is that the story goes something like this: A person has been convicted of a crime and sentenced to a term in jail. While he is serving his sentence, his lawyer has launched an appeal both against the conviction and against the sentence, stating that the jail term was too long. The appeal court has rejected the appeal against conviction but has accepted the appeal against sentence. The sentence "is reversed" and the prisoner remanded in custody until the lower court can impose a more appropriate sentence, "resentencing". However, the conviction stands; it is "otherwise affirmed".
