““ . . . [T]he authorities are uniformly to the effect that it is not essential that newly discovered proof would likely have produced an acquittal. It suffices if it would, in all probability, raise a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the defendant within the degree of culpability of which the jury finds him guilty.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“as a prerequisite for a new trial on newly discovered evidence, the defendant must not be at fault; that is, he must show due diligence.”
