The procedure after trial in order are:

Correct Answer(s)

A. Imposition of sentence
A. Appeal
A. Habeas Corpus

Explanation

After a trial, the first step is the imposition of a sentence, which is the act of determining and announcing the punishment for the convicted individual. Once the sentence has been imposed, the convicted person has the right to appeal the decision. Appeal is the process of requesting a higher court to review and potentially overturn the trial court's decision. Finally, Habeas Corpus is a legal action that allows a person who is imprisoned to challenge the legality of their detention, typically on the grounds of unlawful arrest or violation of their constitutional rights.
