My vision of the future is not a utopia. Especially considering the detrimental events that have gone on in this era, a utopia could be a viable option, but a utopia is really a dystopia in disguise. I want to see a future that continues today’s activism and fully integrates everyone and where anyone can TRULY become what they want to be. And where everyone will be accepted for who they are. Also, when people will REALLY be treated equally and with dignity. A day where police brutality will cease to exist, where racism will disappear, homophobia, xenophobia, and ICE will be a thing of the past. Those days will truly fulfill my dreams and my idea of a future.
They thought they would die on the way & they did not want to take their risk
An Appellate Court is not (usually) the Court of original jurisdiction. So, in many cases you would start at a Federal Trial Court (District Court) and would have a normal trial. If you lost, you could appeal to the Appellate Court, who would review the record (only) from the Trial Court for clear error, bias, etc. A new trial does not occur at the Appellate Level, unless it is a court of original jurisdiction.
The answer is the light bulb.
