"Law Library (Part 9)" lyrics
Don't give up if you lost your case it's not the endin'
You can have a higher court view the decision
Technicalities of the law
It gets real
Welcome to law library
Appeals
Take these bars and put em in your commissary
Put on your thinking caps
This knowledge is necessary
Texts through the J pay apps say don't worry
Tell em Papoose dropping that law library
Take these bars and put em in your commissary
Put on your thinking caps
This knowledge is necessary
Texts through the J pay apps say don't worry
Tell em Papoose dropping that law library
You will be referenced as the appellate
Through this process
The other person in the respondent
If the prosecution knowingly presented false evidence at trail
Or newly discovered evidence was just found
You can file a 440 motion right now
I'm just givin' you examples
These are some of the grounds
If this motion is granted
You're gonna love it
The courts can other vacate or undo the judgement
Dismiss the charges or grant a new trail
Not guaranteed if eligible is worth your while
In other cases you gotta to file a notice of appeal
It a simple a form
It doesn't much skill
But you gotta hurry up
The timing is real
If you don't do it fast enough
You loose your right to appeal
If you are in custody and your conviction is over turned
By the court of appeals is something you must learn
You are entitled to a release
On a reasonable bail pending appeal
Right back on the streets
This is temporary chill
Your awaiting the final determination from the court of criminal appeals
Yes its real
Some get it
Some fail
Works pretty much the same as pretrial bail
But if they have reason to believe the defendant may commit another crime
Or may not surrender
If the conviction becomes final
Then you won't excel
The trail court has the discretion to deny bail
If you on bail when you get convicted
Pay attention
They can't continue bail while your appeal is progressin'
If your in custody doesn't matter
It depends on your crime and a few other factors
If your attorney didn't get experts to challenge the prosecutions evidence
Wasn't investigatin' the prosecutions witnesses
Failed to investigate alibis
Wasn't conductin' DNA testin'
Open your eyes
This means your constitutional rights weren't valued
And part of your appeal should be ineffective counsel
It's sickenin'
Things can get ill
In some cases you may need leave to appeal
If you file without obtaining leave first
You slaughtered it and your appeal maybe dismissed as incompetent
There's so many layers to this
But you must take it serious
No playin' with this
What the next chapter I'll define
Law library 10
Hate crimes
You can have a higher court view the decision
Technicalities of the law
