Q: My uncle was accused for molesting a child and was sentences 14 years. Can this be changed?
They parents, child, and my uncle live in the same household. I know my uncle is not guilty of molestation. He really did not understand what was even happening while court was in session. The parents of that child told that little girl to say everything that was said. I have no idea what was even said. Im sure if that little girl was told that iff she lies that her parents would go to jail. The judge sentenced an innocent man 14 years imprisonment. The judge really is making the wrong decision
A:
without a lot more info it is impossible to say.
it is like asking a doc, i have a pain in my side is it cancer and can you cure it.
the best person to ask is the lawyer who defended him.
there may be a basis for an appeal???
A: There are tight deadlines for appealing a criminal conviction, and a criminal appeals lawyer may be able to provide aid here. Was there evidence that was not submitted by the DA's office? Did your uncle's lawyer fail to provide reasonably professional representation? How long has it been since his conviction? More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue.
