You are a defense attorney defending a client against a murder charge. Your client is the former boyfriend of the victim, and it has been established by several witnesses that the breakup was not a pleasant one. Your client was identified as a suspect from the very beginning. During trial, the prosecution presented a witness who claimed to have overheard your client praying for forgiveness in his holding cell. The prosecution also presented the murder weapon, which was a softball bat with your client’s fingerprint on the handle. Your client was convicted. Still convinced your client is innocent, you look for outside help. Where might you go to seek assistance in getting your client a new trial?

- move for a new trial—that is, ask the judge to set aside the jury’s verdict, declare a mistrial, and start over, or

- appeal or seek a writ, which means asking a higher court to reverse a conviction (court of appeal)

- could possibly hire a private detective to review the case to see if there is any evidence to show he is innocent, if this is successful, a retrial can be put in place?
