How Do I Get Trial Transcripts for an Inmate's Court Case?

I truly appreciate you trying, funny you have done more to try and help me, then anyone else, so i really am thankful, for taking the time to try. I know hes not in the victim witness or in transit, so the only other thing is that the government has a hold on him. Is there a way to find his trial transcripts?

We appreciate the kind words.

We appreciate the kind words. InmateAid was built to help folks like you - let others know about us.  Getting the trial transcripts is not that hard to do, but they are going to charge you a fee (per page) to print and mail them to you. You need to find the Clerk of the Court where he was tried and make a formal request. This is something that the lawyers in other cases do all the time for researching their own cases or appeals.
