Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Appeal of a conviction

I received a conviction for a bounced check in May of 1994.

The check was for $109.00 Is it possible to appeal this decision and have it overturned? Or have the case reopened? At the time I really didn't understand all of my rights.

Re: Appeal of a conviction

If the conviction was in the general district

court, you have 10 days from the date of

conviction to appeal it; 30 days if it was circuit

court.

Your time for appeal has run, obviously, long

ago, and, no, the matter cannot now be reopened.
