The worse the crime, the more argument for an appeal process because you can mess up far more by a mistake. Most appeal processes have a stop-gap measure built in too, because otherwise it becomes an infinite ladder of appeals. However, most legal systems also value transparency in that the "moderation log" is public. This is important for forward handling: people might vote differently if they disagree with the law, or they might point out possible problems with the current state of law. Also, it provides a dampening effect because people know where the "line in the sand" is drawn.
