Asked 12 months ago - Cape May Court House, NJ
Flagi pled guilty to a homicide in Puerto Rico and found out that the attorneys that were appointed to me in court were less than professional. i didn't get my discovery on the matter until 17 months after the plea was entered and it was then that i found out through the medical reports that the vitim did not die as a direct result of the gunshot but in fact died because he refused treatment. when i found this information out i tried to contact the attorney that was given to me by the court in order to have him retract my plea and take the matter to trial but he has refused to answer me. i have exhausted every remedy available to me and have been unsuccessful. the law library at the prison that i am housed in is void of any court rules regarding this matter.
