MIP Law Changed After Sentencing
I was charged with possession of alcohol in a motor vehicle by a minor back on December 29th.
Subsequentially my license was revoked as of April 4th for 150 days. However Governor Jodi Rell of Connecticut retroactively signed a bill reducing the sentence for that offense from 150 days to 30 days.
My friend, (charged with possession of alcohol by a minor, but not in a vehicle), received a letter saying she was eligible to receive her license back; and that 10 days after she mailed in her $150 check she would receive her license.
I have received no such letter. Both of us were charged, and convicted before the signing of the new bill that retroactively changed the law. If I do not receive a letter; can I appeal my sentence? What should I do?
