Description
In many jurisdictions, the trial judge is permitted to entertain a motion for reduction of sentence during a specified period after the sentence has been pronounced. This Manual is intended as an aid in representing clients in the criminal trial process; post-judgment proceedings are beyond its purview. The purpose of this section is merely to identify the principal corrective procedures that are available to a defendant following conviction and sentencing to obtain appellate or collateral review of the conviction and/or sentence.
