Maybe a dumb question, but what is "Post Conviciton Relief?" TIA
For the record Nonni-- the only "dumb" question is the "unasked" one
http://definitions.uslegal.com/p/post-conviction-relief/
Post-conviction relief is a general term related to appeals of criminal convictions, which may include release, new trial, modification of sentence, and such other relief as may be proper and just. The court may also make supplementary orders to the relief granted, concerning such matters as rearraignment, retrial, custody and release on security.
The term may refer to a law or court rule that allows a collateral challenge to a judgment of conviction which has otherwise become final in the normal appellate review process.
