If a prisoner's conviction is overturned, but he attempted to escape, does he get in trouble for the escape?
540166
The crime is escape from lawful custody.  At the time of the escape the custody was due to the conviction, and was lawful.  The offence has been committed.

It never happens that an accused convicted in lower court, chooses not to appeal in a higher court if he believes he is not guilty.\n\nTherefore the legal system permits him to appeal against the award in the higher court e.g. in the High court and then in the Supreme court and then can apply for clemancy before the President.\n\nEven then if during this long process a convicted person is not able to prove his innocence, he is liable to be convicted.\n\nMoreover the court depends on the evidence which are produced before it. \n\nNow if an innocent person is convicted for a crime which he never committed which is quite unlikely to happen ;\n\n1.It has to be proved in the court of law.\n\n2. After his punishment [ death] who will produce counter evidence in the court ?\n\n3. Why these evidence could not be produced earlier ?\n\n4. How the court will rely on these evidences ?\n\nNow assuming that the convicted was innocent, the prosecution will have to be held solely responsible as it conspired and fabricated the evidence and for taking an innocent life.\n\nAnd they can be punished as well. But not the court as it has no option but to rely on the evidence and arguments upon which all judgements are based.

If the prisoner doesn't want to die, they go through an appeals process to the death sentence verdict.  If they lose that and still want to delay the process, they can file almost endless motions disputing minute points from the original court proceeding.

no, in most cases you will then become a fugitive, or escapee, this constitutes a felony.  you can be charged with felony escape along with your original misdomeanor charge.

not to hang, that would be "the easy way out". he should suffer for what he did, stay in prison for a life time.

Possibly something like fraud or perjury, if the elements are there and can be proven - very unlikely.\n\nIf it is proven that he intentionally lost a case, he will likely be sanctioned (even disbarred) and would be liable for legal malpractice.

He can get anywhere from probation (unlikely but possible) to life if the attempt murder is found to have been pre-meditated (which means he would DO 7 years before being eligible for parole, but would be on parole for life and could keep going back to prison again and again and again.) and anything in between.\nThere might also be a few years tacked on for the kidnapping, depends upon whether its a trial or if it is a plea bargain.\nShe should call the DA's office Victim/Witness program and they can help keep her informed of what's going on with the case.

They let YOU out of prison?  Man, was that ever a mistake.

Depends on the country, or state.  In Canada, and in some states, it would potentially lead to a charge of obstructing justice.  Obstruction of justice can lead to jail if you are convicted.

Yes. That's what the appeal process is for. You appeal it to the County Court of Appeals in the county where the violation occurred. There should be instructions on the back of your copy explaining what to do. Usually, you have to file the appeal within a certain time period after the finding of the lower court. The county court of appeals is the final court on a traffic violation, but often easy to have overturned for numerous reasons. If the officer fails to show up and they try to reschedule your appearance, object to the prosecuting attorney, if he/she is not cooperative, ask to speak to the judge. Usually it will be automatically reversed and dismissed. If you have an attorney, he can examine the ticket and details of the incident      and suggest a defense. If you are defending yourself and have  any evidence, e.g.- picture of obscured stop sign, witness, etc, you can introduce that evidence and essentially have a new trial. If you are guilty and have no real defense, plead "no contest' if the officer shows up. Its the same as a guilty plea, but does not indicate that you admit guilt. You also will have chance to explain circumstances to the judge. In Texas, the fine is usually cut in half and sometimes dismissed if you attend defensive driving school. Call the court that heard your case and ask about process to file the appeal. You may have to post the amount of the fine as bond and sometimes more, which will be reimbursed upon   the appeal trial.

If this was not his first offense, I would assume he has a probation/parole officer.  If so, have him contact his PO and turn himself in.  If it was a first time offense, call the DA and have him 'turn himself in'--he will probably be arrested on the warrant, but could be out on bail in a few hours.  Taking the first step by voluntarily surrendering will be much better for him in the eyes of a judge than being stopped for a minor traffic violation and arrested on the warrant because he got 'caught'.  Added plus is that if he is guilty--turning himself in may influence the judge's decision at sentencing.

It will depend on the position she is seeking and her security clearance level.   However, if she is not a spouse of the person who did time, it shouldn't be a conflict in any way.    They are justifiably nervous about allowing spouses into prisons, even those doing volunteer work, but if the person is out, off parole and not in trouble now, it shouldn't affect her ability to obtain employment with the State.

Probably not.  When he was re-arrested, the bail was revoked and he'll have to reapply for bail.  This time, you should leave him there and not jeopardize your house.

it depends if the DA has decided to press charges.  If so..then yes.  If not, I am assuming this is why you were released.

I don't know exactly what he's facing, but I think it would depend a lot on the circumstances:\nWhy was he in prison in the first place? \nWas it a violent offence?\nWas there some extenuating circumstance behind his escape? (abuse in prison, dying family member, etc)\nDid he hurt or kill anyone while escaping?\nWhat other laws did he have to break to get out, get away, or stay in hiding?\nHow much can he afford to spend on his defence?\n\nIf he was in for a non-violent crime, had an understandable motive for escape (besides that prison sucks), snuck out without violence, hasn't committed any more crimes once out, AND can afford a good legal team, then he MIGHT have a chance to get a slight penalty to his sentence. Pretty slim chance, though. There is probably a minimum sentence, although I'm not sure what, but they could easily add 10 years to his prison term, not counting anything else involved in the escape, if he doesn't have the right answers for those questions. \nJust out of curiosity, I'd love to know the specifics.

It is just the sentence. His case will automatically go on appeal, it could take a long, long time before the hanging
