What procedures do we follow in order to file for a new trial? Our trial ended in a "guilty" verdict. Our attorney failed to question a doctor/expert witness for the prosecution whose physical examination of the victim indicated "recurrent rectal abuse" for which I was not accused of. My accusation was "digital penetration of the vagina...however slight" for which the expert saw no evidence. My attorney purposely, declined to cross-examine the expert on her finding, even after my insistence to do so. What can I do about this? Can I ask for a new trial before sentencing? Please answer.
