I have new evidence in my case of conspiracy to commit murder, I have a post conviction relief before the judge but he hasn't ruled yet it's been months, what can i do?
Optional Information: State/Country: Florida Already Tried: filing it over and over, I've been in prison for twelve years. A witness has come forward with an affidavit that I was not involved and he was one of the perpetrators( I am Charlene, I am doing this for my daughters fiance', Who is in prison.
Once these matters are in the hands of the judge, there is nothing you can do, since the judge controls how long it will take them to rule on these motions. To succeed in the motion you will have had to have proven that the evidence could not have reasonably been discovered at the time of your trial. If you have an attorney assisting you, the only thing the attorney can do is check with the judge's clerk to try to get an idea of a time frame on a ruling. If you are representing yourself, you can write a letter to the judge's clerk just asking if they know the time frame on when you will be receiving the ruling.
