Perhaps. It depends upon the state in which the accused agreed to make ab Alford Plea and accept sentencing, rather than stand trial. In many states such a plea is easily overturned and the case continued or dismissed.
Can the sentence on an alford plea be appealed or reconsidered in the state of La?
I strongly suggest you consult an attorney before considering it. Are you certain you want to run that risk? It was YOU that offered the Alford plea. You had the option of going to trial - but obviously chose not to.
Can you withdraw a no contest plead before sentencing?
Typically, once a plea of no contest has been entered, it cannot be withdrawn before sentencing. However, you may consult with your lawyer to explore any possible legal options or circumstances that may allow for reconsideration of the plea.
What are some reasons a plea can be appealed?
I've been trying since 2005 to appeal a plea with a habeas corpus appeal due to new evidence we didn't have at the time of the plea, and since I agreed to take an Alford Kennedy plea but somehow that got lost in the paperwork somewhere. This is now 2012 and it's still pending, so I have no idea as yet if it will even work as they won't give me an answer. This is in West Virginia.
What is more common than formal trial process?

If a case with a guilty plea is reopened with a final judgment of not guilty still a conviction?
"Re-opened?" Was it appealed and reversed? If so, then the retrial finding of Not Guilty is the verdict that stands and you were NOT convicted.
If a case with a guilty plea is reopened with a final judgment of not guilty case dismissed still a conviction?
Wait. If there is a plea of guilty, there can be no not guilty decision; in such cases, there is no trial, only sentencing. The only way it would be reopened is if the defendant rescinded his guilty plea and successfully appealed for a new trial, which then, in theory, could be dismissed. In the event of a dismissal, there is no conviction, unless of course the prosecutor successfully appeals and seeks a new trial, which in light of the original guilty plea, most prosecutors would.
