My husband was convicted of second degree murder of a child. His ex-girlfriend actually did it. But she testified against him. She already had a case pending on her in California for child abuse. His court appointed lawyer convinced him to sign a plea bargain for 10 to 17 years because he was facing 30 years. He was scared the jury would believe her so he signed the plea. The verdict came back not guilty, but the judge sent him to jail anyway. He got 17 years. His attorney did not advise him about how to appeal his case. By the time he found out how to put in for an appeal, too much time had passed. He has a flat sentence so he can't put in for clemensy. Somebody help me find him an attorney so I can him out of there!
