My question concerns my brother he was falsly accused of murder he has

> talked into having a bench trial by his lawyer. The lawyer did not fight
> the case to best of his ability because our family has not had any extra
> funds to pay him we always tell him how we appreciate his work and we do
> understand that money talks. To make a long story short at the day of the
> trial my cousin noticed some sugnificant details as to why my brothers case
> didn't go as well, first the judge was very familiar with the plaintiffs
> family secondly there was a remark made that the lawyer stated he didn't
> care because the family wasn't paying him. In the beginning we (the family) told
> him the lawyer we would not be able to pay the money upfront and he was still willing
> to take the case. My biggest question and concern is how do I go about
> getting to get a retrial for my brother because all they have against him
