Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

What can be don

My friend has been charged with first degree murder for the killing of his friend. They were able to get a verdict with no evidence, no one who saw him with a gun, and a suprise testimony by a trustee. He was at the crime scene but it was after the boy got shot, everyone who testified was at the scene also. the witnesses who testified for the prosecution gave a different story as to the one they gave for their depositon, they basically stated that they did not know what happened and they were all at the crime scene also just like my friend was......They dropped the gun charge a few weeks ago because the witnesses failed to say that they were forced to change their story, in favor of my friend, on the stand, or that he had a gun. He is now sentenced to life in the state of florida, he has an appeal but we just wanted to know what else can be done in this matter? if the appeal does not go thru is there another step we can take?
