Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Colorado

I was convicted of felony offense. i was under the influence during interogation. they had no evedince i commited my crime other than agreeing i did something similar so i was convicted. i want to appeal. is that grounds for the dismissal of the whole case? i was not read my miranda rights until in custody at the police station. my family informed the arresting officers not to question me and they would be getting me a lawyer. also i said several times i was done talking and didnt want to sign anything. i was told by the detective things would be better if i talked to him. the police continued to question me. and i was convicted solely based on what i said during the interrogation. is it likely statement will get thrown out?

You are bringing this up way too late. The statement should not have been admitted at trial. Attack the statement before trial. Or did you plead guilty and avoid trial?
