I've seen some chatter about the possible application of "Rule 35" but not having any law background, I don't know if it would even apply to the type of conviction he received. It was a state conviction (?)
Rule 35. Correcting or Reducing a Sentence
- Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure › TITLE VII. POST-CONVICTION PROCEDURES › Rule 35. Correcting or Reducing a Sentence
Rule 35. Correcting or Reducing a Sentence
Rule 35. Correcting or Reducing a Sentence
(b) Reducing a Sentence for Substantial Assistance
(1) In General. Upon the government's motion made within one year of sentencing, the court may reduce a sentence if the defendant, after sentencing, provided substantial assistance in investigating or prosecuting another person.
The DA would be flying there himself if he even had any interest in such a thing. If we were even considering the state equivalent of this law. Rourke wouldn’t bite.
