You really haven't provided sufficient information to understand the issue. Was your son convicted recently? How long ago was his first appeal denied? There are very short timeframes within which appeals may be taken, and it is possible that your son can no longer pursue an appeal. In that event, you would need to have an attorney explore whether any grounds exist for pursuing a habeas petition, or whether it may be possible to persuade the governor to commute his sentence. I recommend that you contact your local state or county bar association for a referral to an attorney who may be able to assist you. Also, you should ask whether there are any criminal defense projects available that provide pro bono or low cost services to individuals in your area.

There are many compassionate attorneys out there in Florida that can help you understand the legal parameters that need to be dealt with. Florida State Bar Association can be contacted. Perhaps the local law school has a defense project that can help. Time is always at a premium in these matters. An appeal can hopefully be handled by the public defenders appeal office if your state has one. Good hunting.
