Ways to challenge a conviction or sentence
Six paths to a second look
State habeas corpus
A habeas petition asks a court to look again at a conviction or sentence because of new evidence, a constitutional violation, or ineffective help from a prior lawyer.
Felony murder resentencing (Penal Code 1172.6)
People convicted of murder under the felony murder rule or the natural and probable consequences theory may be able to ask for resentencing.
Racial Justice Act (Penal Code 745)
The Racial Justice Act lets people challenge a conviction or sentence when race played a part in the case.
Recall of sentence and enhancements
Some sentences can be recalled and reduced, and some old enhancements are no longer valid under newer laws.
Youth offender and juvenile sentences
People who were young at the time of the offense may have special parole and resentencing rights.
Parole, commutation, and compassionate release
Other paths home include parole hearings, a commutation from the Governor, and compassionate release for serious illness.
For families
How families can help
Letters, a release plan, and family members who speak in court can make a real difference at a hearing.
