wrongful in prisonment
Son was sentenced to prison on charges of sexual conduct with a child. Was told to take a plea by attorney. There was never any investigtion every done into either parties. How do we go about getting help to get him out of prison? Attorney tried to convince us that person is guilty of the offense. We just need help to prove that he did not commit this crime against a child. We don't think lawyer had best instrest on son in court. How do we go about proving or getting help to prove innocence of son.
Re: wrongful in prisonment
You start by getting a complete copy of his file, and retaining an attorney to review the file to see if there are grounds for appeal. There are strict deadlines, and if nothing has been done so far, you only have 30 days from the date judgment was imposed. If that time has passed, there may be some (rarely) other routes available.
Know that if he entered a plea, his options are extremely limited, as it is common to waive appeal when entering a plea.
