Conviction Review Unit
The Denver District Attorney does not have the ability to unilaterally revise a validly obtained conviction and sentence. However, post-conviction petitions, clemency petitions, parole petitions, and community corrections transition requests are available remedies to individuals convicted of a crime.
The Conviction Review Unit (CRU) consists of a Director /Deputy District Attorney, an investigator, and interns who work in collaboration with the applicant’s defense counsel to investigate the applicant’s claims and where appropriate, to support the applicant’s request for relief.
The Conviction Review Unit (“CRU”) accepts submissions to review cases of defendants who deem their sentencing is not compatible with current standards of fairness and also reviews cases of defendants who assert that they were innocent or wrongfully convicted.
