Writ/Post-Conviction Investigations

Do you think there might be new evidence not presented at trial? Were there missing or overlooked witnesses who did not testify? We can help!

Keystone's Top Goals in a Writ Investigation:

• Case Analysis: Collect and review all available trial transcripts, police reports, and attorney files in preparation of the investigation.
• Witness Location & Statements: Finding uncooperative, missing, or overlooked witnesses who can provide new testimony or recant previous statements under oath. 
• Evidence of Misconduct: Uncovering instances of police or prosecutorial misconduct, such as coerced confessions, tainted evidence, or the withholding of exculpatory evidence.
• Juror Misconduct: Discovering improper communications, unauthorized research, or bias that affected the jury's deliberations. 

What Keystone provides from the Process:

• Concrete Proof: Tangible affidavits, expert reports, recorded interviews, and/or physical evidence that meets strict legal standards.
• Admissibility: Ensuring the evidence gathered was obtained legally and can be submitted to the court.
• Timeliness: Moving the investigation swiftly enough to meet strict statutory filing deadlines.
• Clear Communication: Regular updates on what the investigator has uncovered and how it fits into the legal strategy.
