as with all law related questions, a nice bit of info would be which countrys law you want advice on.
When did she get convicted? Was that 5 years ago? or was the offense 5years ago?
(I'm working on the UK legal system)
Assuming that the conviction was 5 years ago, I still dont think its too late. I dont believe there to be limitation on time for an appeal to be brought. The appeal would have to be approved by the DPP (director of public prosecutions) who is only likely to approve it after that amount of time based on new and compelling evidence. The reason i dont think there is a time period for an appeal is because the criminal offenses worth appealing against are recordable crimes, and there is always a need to clear somebodys name if new evidence can do so. Either way you will need a lawyer to do so, so i suggest getting professional advice as you will need to go through a lawyer to make the appeal anyway.

I hate to be the one to tell you, but it is too late for an appeal. She could try applying for a pardon. She would send this to the governor of the state where the conviction happen. A lawyer can help her with this process.

It is not possible if the period given for appeal is over.In some countries.King/Queen/President or constitutional head accepts petition.If you have proof you can give a representation which may result in a juditial review.No harm in giving a petition.,if you have proof.

IF SHE WAS TRIED AND FOUND NOT GUILTY THEN NO, SHE CANT BE TRIED AGAIN... BUT, IF SHE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR QUESTIONING AND NEVER TRIED OR TRIED AND AQUITTED THEN YES, SHE CAN BE BROUGHT BACK IN. SORRY, YOUR FRIEND NEEDS TO REAPPEAR AND FIGHT HER CASE AND HOPES SHE HAS A BETTER LAWYER THEN THE PROSOCUTOR.
