for trial and it was remanded due to lack of time. I had my trial September
9 2015 and was found guilty even after the judge ruled that he has to find
me guilty in a reasonable doubt..when the police officer clearly stated
several times that it appeared to be a smart phone ..it appeared to be” was
not clear at all..do I have a chance at an appeal?
Response:
Hello Randy,
If those were the words used by the Justice, then there is a potential error in law and the case should be appealable. Appeals are not inexpensive, but sometimes are warranted. If you would like to contact the office at 1-866-801-8299 to discuss your options, we would be pleased to assist you.
Best Regards,
Kevin
