Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Motions after being sentence

Is there a motion my fiance lawyer can put in after he was sentence to keep him in the county jail because he was convicted of a crime in which he did not commit but it's a guy in the county jail with him stating he did the crime in which my fiance was charged so there has to be some kind of motion that his lawyer can put in to keep in the county jail while they work on this investigation?

No, if he pled guilty and was sentenced he is saying he did it. If he was found guilty after trial he can file a motion for new trial based on new evidence but he wont stay in the county pending the appeal.

I would have your fiance speak with the lawyer who is representing him. It is improper for another attorney to speak with him about this case if still represented without his attorney's permission.
