How do you present newly discovered evidence in a criminal trial after conviction?
To present newly discovered evidence after a conviction in a criminal matter, the person convicted must file a motion with the trial court to request a new trial based on newly discovered evidence. See Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33(b)(1) set forth below.
Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33. New Trial
(a) Defendant's Motion.
Upon the defendant's motion, the court may vacate any judgment and grant a new trial if the interest of justice so requires. If the case was tried without a jury, the court may take additional testimony and enter a new judgment.
(b) Time to File.
(1) Newly Discovered Evidence.
Any motion for a new trial grounded on newly discovered evidence must be filed within 3 years after the verdict or finding of guilty. If an appeal is pending, the court may not grant a motion for a new trial until the appellate court remands the case.
(2) Other Grounds.
Any motion for a new trial grounded on any reason other than newly discovered evidence must be filed within 14 days after the verdict or finding of guilty.
Note also that the rule permits a motion for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence at any time within 3 years of the verdict or finding of guilt.
Also note that these Rules govern the practice in the Federal Court system, rather than the state court system. Most states have modeled their rules after the Federal Rules so practice in the several states will probably be similar.
