Appeals And Post-Conviction Relief

The appeals process involves calling your initial trial and its procedures into question. The appeals court will determine whether the court’s decision will be upheld. Reasons for an appeal can include:

• Evidence was not disclosed or was improperly excluded
• Statements or questions made during the trial that were prejudicial or inflammatory
• Juror misconduct or failure to properly inform the jury of instructions
• Insufficient evidence
• Ineffective legal counsel made by the defense

Post-conviction relief can also be used to raise issues or bring additional evidence outside of appeals court. These arguments are often used to address details that were unclear in the case and could result in a judge granting a new trial, modification of your sentence or other positive results.

Your attorney can help you examine these options and determine whether they could help you protect your freedom and future opportunities.
