After a criminal conviction, it is possible to obtain a new trial in rare cases. In order to receive a completely new trial, you must have either new evidence that could change the outcome, or be able to prove that a new trial is in the interest of justice (for example, because the jury or judge was biased).
If you believe you lost your trial because you failed to hire a competent attorney, you may be able to secure a Ginther hearing based on ineffective counsel, which is not a new trial but a review of evidence based on the fact that legal counsel was not sufficient during the initial proceedings. Other motions include:
In some cases, it may also be possible to appeal your verdict or sentence, and fight for a just result.
