What does post-conviction relief mean? Specifically for the victim?

Google wasn’t super clear on what it means for the victim.

We are not sick of you.

Disclaimer: I know very little about the law.

I think of post conviction relief as having to do with a challenge to the court proceedings. Like if the lawyer wasn’t adequate, or if something is found out about a juror after the fact. I’m not sure what he could come up with since he plead guilty.

Can you ask the prosecutor what could happen?

Post-conviction relief is a procedure that allows the defendant in a criminal case to bring more evidence or raise additional issues in a case after a judgment has been made (post-trial).

I feel so weird calling and asking because they haven’t told me, I just found it but I can try. I read it usually gets denied so hopefully it does.

Just do what will make you feel better. Can a friend or someone in your family make the call if it’s hard for you to do?

I can also email.

I would say it means relief from the trial, relief that the trial is over.

Email sounds good.
