Re: Time limit for new trial after winning your appeal

You did not say which appellate court reversed the case, which might make a significant difference.

The other factor is whether or not your brother is currently in custody.

Finally, the different military services have somewhat different processes that they follow. If you would like more specific answers and care to furnish me with the above information, e-mail me directly and I'll try and give you more specific responses.
