Did Shylock receive a fair trial?
Shylock did not receive a fair trial. He was sentenced to convert to Christianity by force and was also forced to promise his wealth to his daughter Jessica who ran away with a lot of his expensive jewels after his death. However, if the harshness of the sentence made the trial unfair, everyone who has been sentenced to life imprisonment must have been unfairly tried. What is really unfair about the trial is that Portia out of nowhere produces this: "It is enacted in the laws of Venice, if it be proved against an alien that by direct or indirect attempts he seek the life of any citizen . . ." Leaving aside the unfairness that Shylock, who was born and raised in Venice and lives and works there is not a citizen but an "alien" because he is Jewish, characterizing his starting a legal proceeding as an attempt to kill Antonio is ridiculous. Shylock has no intention of killing Antonio unless the court says it is legal. It is up to the court to determine whether Antonio should die, not Shylock. By this reasoning, if Shylock accused a Christian of murder, a crime which calls for the death penalty, it is Shylock who should be put to death, because he set the wheels of law in motion. This demonstrates how ridiculously unfair the judgement against Shylock under this statute is. The court is saying, "Thank you for coming to us to see whether something is legal or not. As a result you are to lose all of your money and we will consider having you killed. The State prefers murders to lawsuits."

What happens if the judges on court of appeals decide a trial was unfair?
Actually a court of appeals cannot decide that. A court of appeals can only decide whether or not the trial court correctly followed procedures and existing legal precedence. It is entirely possible for procedures and legal precedence to be completely unfair (they have been many times) but if the trial court properly followed them, the court of appeals must support the trial court's decision. If the court of appeals decides that the trial court failed to follow procedures and/or existing legal precedent, then the case must be retried in a trial court.
