I have a problem that has to do with a public defender in sonoma county who represented my fiance during jury trial. Through out the whole proceedings my fiance and I repeatedly asked/told him what needed to be said, stressed, pointed out, and proved and he never did it. The D.A. called testimony from witnesses who's lies incriminated my fiance and placed him near the crime scene, he even gave a discription of a man who is tall about 6'4" tall, husky, blondish grey hair and brown boots, pointed to my fiance in the court room and said"it was him", my fiance is 6"1" tall, very thin, dark brown hair, never has nor does he own a pair of brown boots. We told the P.D that the person he is describing was my father who had came and brought me gas because I ran out a couple of blocks from the crime scene,clearly wasn't my fiance. The P.D never brought my father in for testimony, even thought he was told he was willing and avaliable. There are a couple more key points but I wont go into detail.
Because of this my fiance was found guilty of felony possession of stolen property and is currently in jail on no bail. Probation is due to come talk to him but hasn't yet, I have repetly tried contacting the P.D but wont return my phone calls, emails etc....can't we appeal this? Isn't there cause for any miss trial because he faild to provide NECESSARY evidence?
Thank you
