I had a great visit with my mom today. I don't know why, but in one-on-one visits we usually talk about different stuff than when we would with others. The same is true for everyone else, too.
I found out today that I do not have a chance for an appeal at all. The lawyer at the juvenile justice non-profit foundation who was looking at my case said that, because of the agreement I made in the court judgment, I gave away almost all chances for appeal. The only appeal I could do would not fit my situation. She suggested filing a grievance with the state bar association for the ethics violations and continuing to pursue commutation and parole. I am hoping that she can write a recommendation now that she is familiar with my case.
I kind of figured there wouldn't be a shot at an appeal so it wasn't a huge letdown. It certainly wasn't good news, though. I chase commutation and parole even harder now that the favored option is gone. I really want to go home and put this prison life behind me, and I will explore every legitimate route to see if I can get there faster.
