Maine Motion to Vacate/Set Aside Sentence is a legal procedure that allows a person convicted of a crime to have their sentence or conviction vacated or set aside. This motion is made to the court that originally heard the case in order to challenge the validity of the conviction or sentence. This motion is often used when a person believes they were wrongly convicted or unfairly sentenced. There are two types of Maine Motion to Vacate/Set Aside Sentence: 1. Motion to Vacate Sentence: This motion is used to challenge the validity of a criminal sentence. It is typically used when a person believes they were given an excessively harsh sentence or that their sentence was based on incorrect information. 2. Motion to Set Aside Conviction: This motion is used to challenge the validity of a criminal conviction. It is typically used when a person believes they were wrongly convicted or that their conviction was based on incorrect information. In either case, the court will review the motion to determine if the conviction or sentence should be vacated or set aside. If the court determines that the conviction or sentence should be set aside, it may be replaced with a lesser sentence or the conviction may be removed from the defendant's record.
