Is it possible to re-open a criminal case after the conviction, after an inmate has been released from prison, and if the error of the court is So plain to see, will someone take the case pro-bono?
Optional Information: ft lauderdale, Florida Already Tried: I was wrongly convicted of a crime, served 3 and 1/2 years in prison and i feel the error of the court is so plain and fundamental that it can be told and shown in a few sentences. The jury that mistakenly convicted me even agrees and will testify. I would like to pursue a wrongful conviction case if someone would be willing to listen and maybe take the case pro bono?
Unless there is new evidence that could not be discovered at the time of the trial, the case cannot and will not be reopened because of an "error of the court" the time for that was during the appeal on the conviction and if you missed it, you are stuck. No attorney will touch a case where the appeal dates have been missed because there is nothing they can do.
