    Default Armed robbery

    My boyfriend just got sentenced 5-10 years for armed robbery.I was wondering if anyone could help on what should we do to over turn his conviction.The only thing that they really had on him was the person who he did the armed robbery with confessed with a written statement, so he plead guilty to armed robbery.Is there any way he can get his sentence lowered to a 2-5? Please help

    Default Confession to Armed Robbery

    Typically, following a criminal conviction, the defendant may challenge the verdict or setence by appeal. It sounds like your boyfriend is not contesting the finding of guilt, which resulted from his plea, but is objecting to the sentence he received. He should consider consulting with a criminal appellate lawyer in California to help him assess whether his sentence might be reduced on the basis of a post-sentence motion or appeal, and what the odds are that he would prevail in such a challenge.
