Can i present new evidence 20 years after conviction?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
It depends. If you have not previously filed a writ of habeas corpus, there is at least a chance you can pursue one alleging newly discovered evidence. It's more complicated than that, though. It's a long and expensive process to do it correctly. But, if you have "new" evidence, it is at least worth sitting down with a writ lawyer to discuss it.

Is he looking at jail time if he was caught driving without a license in an unregistered vehicle?

Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Jared C. Winter
Evading a police officer can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony (see PC 2800), driving without a license can be charged as a misdemeanor or an infraction (see VC 12500). Any misdemeanor carries the potential for jail time. The person facing these charges needs a lawyer.

What can I do about wrongful prosecution

Kenneth G. Wincorn
Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
If the prosecution is based on a false accusation you may have a civil suit against the person or company that filed the complaint. Governmental entities such as the police or district attorney have limited immunity so a suit against them is difficult. The part of the question referring to "schedules" is confusing. If you mean schedules as applied to drug amount or classification, this goes to the penalty that may be imposed and requires possibly drug testing or checking the correct weight.
