Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

Hi,

I live in Ohio. In April, I was falsely accused and convicted of domestic violence. This happened a month after my wife gave birth to our second child. At the trial, she claimed her 5th ammendment right not to testify against me but the prosecutor forced her to. I was appointed to a lawyer and I failed to communicate to her that my wife confessed to her bestfriend that she made up everything. As a result, I was convicted. Later in May, she was diagnosed with depression and was put on medication. Based on my wife's medical condition and the potential withness not called. Any chance that i could get a retrial. Also, my wife lied under oath at first trial, any chances that the prosecutor gives her immunity and a chance to tell the truth. Please advise.
