Re: criminal charges
Your description of events is probably not complete or is not completely correct. If however this happened to someone you know, all he needs to do to appeal this is to file a notice of appeal with the sentencing court's clerk's office and then apply to the appellate court for in forma pauperis relief(assuming he cannot afford an attorney.) If he can afford an attorney, he should hire one to bring his appeal right away.
Good luck
