Hi, I was wrongly convicted of a crime, and am at the end of my appeals process. My only chance left is to file a habeas corpus or a PRP, which most likely will have to file on my own. I've read and watch a few videos about this topic and I've heard a lot a inmates file these on there own from jail. There are some programs that help inmates but you have to be in jail or were in jail or like over 2 years. I only did 6 months time served. What kind of information can be submitted in a PRP ? I Know inefficient console is a one I could claim. But what other info could I claim? My lawyer didn't discuss with me the defense she planned to use, she put the burden on the state. Didn't even discuss with me I had the option of a bench trial, which I would have chosen. At my trial, I had not had a hair cut in about over 5 months, was provided clothes by my lawyer from goodwill, had to wear my work shoes that I was arrested in, I was not aware until after my trial the jury wasn't allow to know I was in jail, but my jail wristband was clearly visible during my trial. I looked guilty, and was very uncomfortable, looking the way I looked. My Speedy rights were violated it took about 116 days to get my case to trial. I was arrested in the area at a busy downtown foot ferry none or the witnesses were in the area at the time of my arrest, and the first time they saw who was arrested was 5 months later. None of the police reports, witness statements that were taken around a month after my arrest were involved in my trial. Basically the officer arrested me, because I matched a very basic description and had been drinking by a 7-11. And assumed I was the man involved although I had been wearing a backpack, which was not in the reports given by the dispatch who reported the suspect. I took a lie detector test that I passed on this conviction, could I submit that in the habeas corpus? The off duty detective who gave me the test, told me to contact a detective. I tried that but they said they said they could not investigate my case. Should I contact the FBI to try and have them investigate my case? I was arrested for sexual misconduct of a minor, and my charge was change to child molestation 3. It don't matter if this conviction is the lowest and has a 3 behind it. Most people just think about the title of the charge and this title is a very hard one to live with. If you can answer any of my questions or give me any advice I'd be grateful. I got a little money but most likely I'll have to do this on my own, last lawyer I talked to said it would cost around 50,000. I even hired a private investigator but he just pretty just took my 400 dollars and told me he was unable to contact any of the 3 witnesses. But any any advice would be good.
