Help help: My son was convicted of first degree murder, and due to not having - Help.com

God said that there would be trials in life. Truely, this is the very defination of what He means. Pretty real for an invisable God, huh? I’m sorry for your circumstance, but unfortunatlly all you can do is stand by. Your son has apparently killed someone and the judicial system will determine the extent of that crime. The system is a machine but it is driven by the human element so, it is not without understanding or compassion to SOME extent. Again, that depends upon the extent of the crime.
I would pray. As a mother, I could only imagine your pain. God is not without His mercey and care. I will also pray to Him to ease you.
All My Best

I’ll keep an ear out and relay anything I may discover.

If he has been convicted, then obviously there was very strong evidence pointing to the conclusion that he did in fact commit murder.
if you feel his lawyer was corrupt, then go and see the public defenders office and ask to file for a mistrial.
you do not need to pay a lawyer, the state will have assigned him a public defender.

Call the American Law Association, they may be able to guide you for a reduced or bono rate. I suppose the idea is that new law grads wish to have a firm of their own or at least work at a more prestegious firm. In order to do this, they need a track record of some degree. New grads are eager and sharp - give it a try. . .
