How often are inmates successful with appeals in court?

My fiance asked for a lawyer during interrogation several times (4) x to be exact and coerced to talk to the detectives. And the judge denied his motion to suppress the issue. Can he beat this in appeals court?

Ask the inmate answer

If he has a good post-conviction attorney and the facts bear out as you suggest that might be a strong reason to overturn the denial of motion. Anything is possible but, the statistics are not in the inmate's favor as only about 10% of appeals are successful.
