What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
There's a person that I know that was just convicted of rape in the 1st degree and sexual assault in the 1st degree and will be sentenced on 8/31. He's to receive a minimum of 5 years up to 25 years.
In New York, is he entitled to an appeal or is there criteria that must be met for him to appeal the conviction?
I have absolutely no idea whether or no he committed the crime, but the jury foiund him guilty. I know that he's not a violent felon and this case was not considered a forcible rape.
I am asking because I believe that he needs help medically with solving his sexual aspects of his life and that by sending him to state prison isn't going to solve his issues.
