Publisher's Synopsis
Post-Conviction Relief Second Last Chance Book Six of the Post-Conviction Relief Series. The book includes example motions for compassionate release, based on a Covid-19 claim. It's common knowledge, among experts in America, that thousands of people in federal prison are either over sentenced or are actually innocent. Equally so it's commonly unknown, among experts in America, that the law provides for the release of those people. At sentencing defendants are informed of their right to appeal. After appeal lawyers tell their clients about their right to file for post-conviction relief under 28 U.S.C.: 2255, but not without laughter in their voice. What they don't tell their clients is that a:2255 motion cannot be based on actual innocence or over sentencing. This book fills that gap. It explains how to action both actual innocence and over sentencing along with explaining which legal mechanism to use. It breaks the fairy tale about: 2255's one-year statute of limitations, it explains how to determine which federal prisoners are among the thousands who are actually innocent of over sentenced.
