If you have been wrongfully convicted, there are a number of routes you can take to appeal depending on which court convicted you. For the best advice, you should visit your lawyer, solicitor and/or the CCRC as appeals will differ on a case to case basis.

Who to you contact for help when you have been wrongfully convicted by police?

US Answer Only: If you are in the U.S., you cannot be convicted wrongfully or otherwise by the police. The police may arrestyou, or the police may charge you, or detain you or even hold you, but in the US, there is no mechanism by which the police can convict you. Now, if you believe you have been wrongfully convicted by the courts, you can appeal the conviction. If you believe your have been wrongfully charged by the police, and the charge is not a felony, look at the charging document and you will see a court date. Appear in court at the appointed date and time and you will have a chance to discuss the issue with the judge (or magistrate), wherein you (usually) may enter a plea of 'not guilty', or, in the case of a traffic infraction, you may simply state your case for a summary decision from the court or referee.
