Post Conviction Relief
How do I get relief from an unjust sentence?
Once you are convicted there are a few different routes to get out of the penitentiary as soon as possible. If you have gone to trial and lost the verdict, the method would first be to appeal the trial court for a remand or reversal. You have limited time to do this, and your private attorney or public defender will have told you about this.
“Reversible error” is rare, but possible. However, a remand can make all the difference. This means, that the appellate court will look at any issues found to be in error by the trial court. A remand places the burden back upon the trial court to resolve these issues.
I need to appeal my trial!
You may be able to. However, time is of the essence.
