60-150 YEAR SENTENCE VACATED AND REPLACED WITH TIME SERVED IN LIGHT OF NEWLY DISCOVERED EVIDENCE OF JUDICIAL BIAS
In 2000, 27-year-old Efrain Hidalgo was sentenced to serve a draconian 60 to 150 years of incarceration for non-violent drug sales. Over 20 years later, Attorney Noel was retained to litigate a claim under Pennsylvania’s Post Conviction Relief Act involving newly discovered evidence of judicial bias. Attorney Noel’s task was to bring her client home.
To learn how she accomplished that task, read Attorney Noel’s article, published in For the Defense, the quarterly publication for Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
