Re: Unfair sentence
In Minnesota State Court, there is a possibility of making a motion to the sentencing court, to stay execution of sentence pending appeal.
Beware though -- the deadline for appeal may be less than 60 days! He should retain a lawyer to work on his appeal and post-sentence motions ASAP!
