Asked 6 months ago - White Plains, NY
FlagMy boyfriend was found guilty by jurors in his trial. And we dont understand how they found him guilty when a witness that was at the scene of the crime confessed to being the responsible party and stating that my boyfriend had no knowledge of the crime that was being committed and my boyfriend did not posses any of the evidence charged against him. So he wants to appeal the charges but we need a lawyer for appeals. And we have more witnesses that was not able to testify at the trial willing to come forward to say what happened. Its basically the police testomony against his and he has been railroaded by the court system. We believe the jurors did not convict him by the evidence in the case but by the testomony in the case in which the police officers admited to making several mistakes..
If this happened in Westchester County call the Legal Aid Society of Westchester County. He will only be assigned an attorney if he is under the income threshold. If he had an assigned attorney they should assign him one for an appeal. He should also ask his trial lawyer to help. If he cannot get an assigned counsel no private attorney will do it for free.
