    As far as I know, you have the right to appeal even if you can’t afford a lawyer. Your appeal will just probably fail. But then Hunter’s appeal might fail. I’m not saying the justice system is fair, but this particular story seems like it would be something anyone in his situation would do.

      Yeah, I was being flip. Everyone has the right, but having the right and exercising it are two different things.
