Re: wrongly convicted

Don't always count on what you hear is being said. If you have personal knowledge of his innocence then of course it is important to come forward. But basically a Rule 32 needs to be filed, which is different from an appeal. I work these all the time and have represented many. I do not know where you are but will be happy to look at the case. Care has to be taken in doing a Rule 32 because you can only do it one time and it must be done within a certain period of time.
