Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
DUI Manslaughter
My friend was convicted on this crime in sanford, fl but he wasn't driving nor was he in the vehicle, how hard is it to get a new trial for something like this, he doesn't have a lot of money but he has funds- also is there really people that look into cold cases.

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
Your friend would have to consult a lawyer with the specific facts. It is impossible to provide any information based on the limited facts you provided. Cold cases are investigated by police department units for unsolved crimes - not to review crimes that they believe have already been solved.
