Post-Conviction Remedies

Post-conviction remedies refer to legal options available to individuals who have been convicted of a crime and believe their conviction was unjust or flawed. These remedies allow them to seek relief after the trial, typically through appeals or motions to vacate the conviction. Common grounds for seeking these remedies include new evidence, legal errors during the trial, ineffective assistance of counsel, or violations of constitutional rights. Essentially, it’s a way for the convicted person to challenge and potentially overturn their conviction after the initial legal process has concluded.
