A letter obtained by People revealed that Duggar claimed to need a court-appointed attorney because he did not have enough money to pay for his own.
"I am unable to afford counsel due to my current financial circumstances,' the disgraced reality star wrote.
Additionally, the filing noted that Duggar is seeking legal help 'to help evaluate' if "constitutional violations' occurred in his case, 'and, if appropriate, prepare a motion to vacate, set aside, or correct my conviction and sentence.'
He also alleged that the trial 'involved complex constitutional and evidentiary issues, particularly relating to legal rulings and strategic decisions made during trial proceedings' as well as 'errors in the admission of forensic evidence.'
In December, photos of Duggar looking unrecognizable two years after his imprisonment emerged. The images showed him exercising in the yard at FCI Seagoville in Dallas.
He was sentenced to 12 years and 7 months behind bars in May 2022 after being convicted in December 2021. Duggar began his prison sentence in June 2022 and is expected to be released in October 2032.
