Petition for Post-Conviction Release
I am a law intern going into my third year of college. I was given the task to draft a letter for a petition for post conviction relief. I am lost on the format on of the letter and what to say. I do know I have to include our client name and original docket number, the crime and the grounds on which we are asking for the PCRA for. The crime happened in Pennsylvania, it was murder in the first degree and our grounds is actual innocence.

This is the first time your office has prepared such a document? If not, check past files for a model you can use.
