If a person files a personal restraint petition to have a case reviewed, can he get more time added onto his sentence?
Simply filing a PRP will not result in more time being added to his sentence. However, if he succeeds with his PRP by, for example, getting a new trial ordered or getting his guilty plea vacated, he would be going back into court and essentially starting over from the beginning. From there, he could end up with a better, worse, or the same result. He will need to consult with an attorney to get more detailed information about his specific circumstances.
