Cape and Islands District — Conviction Integrity

Any defendant, or attorney who represented or currently represents a convicted defendant, who believes there is a wrongful conviction or a conviction with some infirmity not addressed by the appellate process should contact the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office and submit an outline of the infirmity, wrongful conviction or newly discovered evidence.  We encourage a defendant to seek the legal services of an experienced criminal defense attorney in this endeavor as our Code of Ethics bars us from providing legal advice.  The outline should provide the grounds and details on which the claim of wrongful conviction, or newly discovered evidence is based.  The Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office will review the same.  The Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office is dedicated to careful review and taking remedial action as necessary.
