What we have to do now is fine comb the entire procedure and see if there was an error within the process or with a decsion the judge made. The process goes like this: Filing a notice of appeal Preparing the record for appeal Preparing the initial brief Answer brief and reply brief Request for oral argument Waiting for a ruling: Rehearing: Final mandate 30 days to seek a review by the Florida Supreme Court. 60 days after the mandate to file a motion to mitigate the sentence We are looking for errors: Fundamental Error An error which goes to the heart of the case, and which can be considered by the court "in the interest of justice," even if the appellant fails to properly raise the issue on appeal. Harmful Error An error which the appellate court concludes had a probable impact on the outcome of the trial.
