Let’s say that Lily exhausts all of her state appeals and is languishing in prison for a few years. Which of the following seems to be her best avenue for appeal at that point?

Lily Logan is a famous model. She is convicted of drug charges stemming from an incident where she was pulled over on suspicion of DUI and police found cocaine on her front seat. This conviction occurs in Lower Alabama (L.A.) County Court. After Lily is convicted, her lawyer prepares to file an appeal based on his perception that several of his client’s constitutional rights have been violated. Specifically, he feels that officers conducted an improper traffic stop in violation of the 4th Amendment; that there was an improperly obtained confession in violation of the 5th Amendment; and that his client’s 6th Amendment right to a speedy trial was also violated. He raised all of these issues at the trial. a. Direct appeal b. Seeking post-conviction relief through a writ of habeas corpus c. An appeal of right d. There is nothing more that can be done.
