How We Can Use DNA Evidence to Appeal Your Sex Crime Conviction
Attorney Roberts brings appeals on behalf of individuals who have been charged with any sex crime, including rape, child pornography, sexual exploitation of a minor and prostitution. These appeals are based on the use of DNA evidence, including situations where:
- There was DNA evidence available during a sex crimes trial and it was not tested or compared with the defendant's DNA
- New DNA evidence is found after a conviction
Whether your conviction was based on false allegations and testimony or lack of DNA evidence, we are here to reevaluate your case to determine if there is a substantial basis for an appeal.
If you find you have more questions about seeking an appeal or how DNA evidence can help your sex crime conviction appeal, call our office to schedule a time to speak with our criminal appeals lawyer.
