:confused: :idea:does anyone know how to go about appealing a murder/robbery conviction, if that person convicted was wrongly convicted?

Have the attorny file an appeal.

If your loved one's trial attorney does not file an immediate appeal then you must ask that a state appointed appeal lawyer be provided. That attorney will then file the appeal. Be aware that 85 to 90% of appeals are denied PCA which menas the court doesn't even review it they just agree with the trial court. If this happens you must go to post-conviction motions. The inmate does not have a right to be provided an attorney for these motions, so you must either find a lawyer to do the work of do them ProSe which means on your own. There's plenty of web sites with info on how to do these motions. Good luck.

You have only ninety days to appeal according to the law. Best to get on it right away. This was information discreetly given to my family in a hidden way so that we did not know this. Here we are ten years later trying to fight an uphill battle. Not just any attorney will do either you need someone who specializes in PCR which is post case reduction. Act fast because if you don't you wont have much of a prayer in hell. If you need any further assistance of how to go forth pm me here and I'll give you my yahoo and we can talk further about the laws governing appelate issues. I'm not an attorney just a sister who has made it a priority not to live in ignorance of the laws governing us any longer.

In OH, appeal must be filed right away. At sentencing, the judge said that if Doc could not afford to hire an attorney for the appeal or could not afford to pay for the trial transcripts, such service would be provided to him at no charge....
The appeal had to be filed within 14 days of sentencing, which was done by the attorney. It doesn't matter if you feel your family member was wrongly convicted. It only matters that he was convicted and should have been told by the judge that he could have a court appointed attorney to handle the appeal. Rules may be different in each state, so you need to find out what is required in your state.
