Are you sure it was a CONVICTION and not just a CHARGE??? Was there a trial yet or just a pre-trial hearing??? Look, there's something fishy going on here. What EVIDENCE did the state put on? Did ANYONE testify against him? Who? Officers? His boss?? The state must put on SOME evidence. If not, I'd check to see who the judge's golfing buddies are.
If he was convicted, is he free now? Is he incarcerated while awaiting sentencing?? I know it will cost, but it is imperative you force your attorney to undertake every appeal. The odds are against you on appeal -- normally the judge had to decide "against the manifest weight of the evidence" for you to win an appeal.
But, where there is a conviction on NO evidence, you can possibly win.

he has been convicted, and has to go to sentencing this month, there was no testimony against him, and no evindence, but the judge apperently thinks the charge was enough, the only testimony was for him, not against him.
he has already been to pre sentencing probation, so I know it was a conviction of a class C felony, and the woman who testified for him, said that they had no evidence, the only thing they had was on paper
