Re: transcripts

You can get the county to pay for a transcript of a trial for an appeal if you are indigent. Assuming that the time for an appeal has not passed and you are in prison, you would most likely qualify. An application would have to be filed with the trial court or the court of appeals. There may be other issues that would justify a copy of the transcript being provided. In any event, it sounds like there are some important issues that need to be looked at. You should definitely talk to a criminal lawyer who does both trial and appellate work. If have other questions, I will be happy to talk to you.

Good Luck
