What is under 3.850?

Due to the nature of the appeals process, there has been fault on the part of the court or the jury. However, when seeking post conviction relief with motion 3.850, you must be under the assumption that your representation failed you in one of the following ways:

• They failed to investigate and file a motion to suppress
• They did not advise for a plea offer, or make the consequences for accepting/rejecting a plea offer known
• There was not an exculpatory witness investigated
• Issues for appellate review were not preserved

If your previous attorney failed in any of these ways, you are eligible for the motion of ineffective assistance of counsel. While there are more possibilities, the general rule is that they were misguided in their approach to your defense, ultimately leaving out vital pieces of information that can get you the verdict you desire.

In the case where you were improperly educated to the consequences of a guilty plea, you may file the 3.850 motion in order to vacate it. Your last opportunity is if there has been new evidence that has surfaced since your original case. It’s important to know that the State of Florida views new evidence as something that could not have been obtained in any manner during the original proceedings. If the new pieces have the ability to alter the outcome, they can be taken back to court.
