If you have been convicted of a crime and you think that the guilty verdict (or even plea) was mistaken, you will want to look for a way to reverse that errored conviction.

Reversing a conviction generally happens usually through appeals or writs. It's theoretically possible for two completely reasonable juries to rule differently on the already accepted facts about the case, and therefore give two separate verdicts.

If someone found an error in the appeal, you can most likely file and appeal in another jurie and hope for the best You also need to provide proof as to why you think the verdict is an error.
