Re: motion for retrial

It seems like you want to file a motion for Post Conviction Relief. The normal standard of limitations on that is 5 years. If it is over that, there is a slight chance you can still get in but it is close to impossible but still worth taking a shot at.

This is called a 3.850 and contrary to what the other answers say the time limit is 2 years by rule. I am presently doing 4 such cases.
