Challenging a Conviction: Practical Guide

Receiving a conviction can be a decidedly discouraging moment, but it is important to know that there are legal tools to contest it. The Bianucci Law Firm, under the guidance of Attorney Marco Bianucci, offers detailed analysis and customized solutions to face this legal challenge.

What is a Conviction?

A conviction is a judgment issued by a court that determines a person's guilt in relation to a crime. This type of judgment can lead to criminal penalties, fines, or other sanctions.

Reasons to Challenge a Conviction

First of all, it is crucial to identify the reasons why a conviction can be contested. Some common reasons include:

• Legal errors: When the judge has incorrectly applied the law.
• Procedural defects: Any flaw in the legal process that may have affected the verdict.
• New evidence: The discovery of evidence that was not available during the original trial.
• Inadequate legal representation: If the accused did not receive adequate legal defense.

Tools to Challenge a Conviction

There are several legal tools to contest a conviction:

Appeal

The appeal is one of the most common methods to contest a conviction. This process allows the case to be brought to a higher court for reevaluation of the decision. It is important to remember that an appeal is not a new trial; rather, it can critique both substantive and procedural aspects.

Appeal to the Supreme Court

The appeal to the Supreme Court is another tool used to contest a judgment from an appeal court. It is an additional legal review by the Supreme Court, which focuses primarily on the correct application of the law.

Review

The review of a final judgment can be requested in exceptional cases, such as in the presence of new evidence that could lead to an acquittal. This tool allows for the reopening of the case under certain conditions.

"The law is a tool of justice, and every judgment must reflect a correct interpretation of the evidence and the regulations."
