Some of us think that it's already too
late when the sentence of the offender's crime has already been read by the
court. Although this holds some truth, little do we know that there is still a
chance for the offender and for the attorney to send for petition. And this motion
is called—post-conviction relief.
According to Nevada Revised Statutes
or NRS, post-conviction
relief is a process by which you can send a petition to the highest court
to take a look at the verdict made by the lower court. However, this not
applies to every case and not everyone can experience this.
Post-conviction relief are given only
to offenders who claims that their attorney did not help in gathering enough
evidences and witnesses, or when an attorney did not explain the entirety of the
offender’s case.
Being sentenced for a crime is surely
one of the hopeless situations that could ever happen to a person. However,
what many of us do not realize, is that there will always be a chance as judges
usually accepts motions for post-conviction relief to those who are deserving
for it. You may somehow feel a little hopeless but keep note to fight for your post-
conviction relief with the help of your trusted criminal defense attorney.
