A: It can take a long time to receive an appellate court ruling on a conviction. However, probation revocation cases are relatively simple and can usually be ruled on faster than the average criminal case. I would suggest that you call your husband's lawyer and ask him the status of the appeal. If you are unable to reach him, you can also call the Court of Criminal Appeals in Montgomery and ask the clerk's office if they can tell you the status. You can also send me an email through the contact form on my website at http://williampfeifer.com, and I can look his case up on the appellate court computer system for you. Good luck to you.
