Donald, to assess the possibility of overturning your conviction, I need the following details:
- The specific crime you were convicted of
- The date of your conviction
- Any new evidence or witnesses that could prove your innocence
- Information about your trial, including any legal representation you had
Providing these details can help determine the next steps.
ok so the conviction is of * count of burglary 2nd degree felony and posession of drugs.
To assist you further, I need to know if there is any new evidence or witnesses that could potentially prove your innocence since your conviction. Additionally, please provide information about your trial, including any legal representation you had.

It sounds like you have significant new evidence that could potentially prove your innocence, including audio of her lying and video footage. You might want to consult with a criminal defense attorney to discuss filing a motion for a new trial based on this new evidence.
