The appellate record needs to be examined because what is in the record already sets the stage for what can be done next. The answer to your question may take several hours of legal research. And to decide what the next step will be needs to be really fast because the appeal deadline clock is running and days have already passed since the court session you mention. Since you are no longer represented contact me to review your record if you like.

No one can know what the record is in the case because online we cannot see your documents. You need a lawyer. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.

Good luck to you.

If you lost the trial and an appeal, it may be time to let it go. However, I do not practice in your state and I have not read the record, so please, contact a local appellate lawyer.
