- Q. Do you accept murder appeal cases?
- A: If your friend has already been imprisoned for 8 years, appeal is no longer an option, but your friend could file a writ of habeas corpus challenging his/her confinement. The writ of habeas corpus is a mechanism to address fundamentally defective procedure leading to constitutional error or claims of actual innocence (actual innocence is a very high bar of proof). The writ procedure is detailed in section 11.07 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The writ is filed in the trial court but ultimately makes its way to the Court of Criminal Appeals for a decision.
