Legal Question in Criminal Law in Mississippi

Legal Representation

My nephew was convicted of homicide. He was represented by a public defender 14years ago who told him to pead guilty to get out of jail quicker even though all evidence showed self defense. Is there any way to get legal help to try and get him paroled and what kind of lawyer do I contact?

Re: Legal Representation

Your nephew was convicted of murder. He spent 14 years in jail so far, but you didn't mention what his sentence was. There are ways to attack a conviction, or plead for clemency. The problem is that the success of this type of action is extremely rare, and extremely expensive. I would need a lot more information before I could give you an answer.
