2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The only thing that I’ve seen so far is that Kirace Norman, Tyrone Washington and Troy Washington may have also been named. I don’t know whether their pictures were shown or not, but if their pictures were shown and they were identified, the facts that they were friends of [defendant] would not assist [defendant] ... so I would deny the Motion for New Trial in that it is not newly discovered evidence and ... would not affect the outcome of the trial. The Louisiana Supreme Court has held: [A] new trial will not be granted unless this new evidence is of such a nature that it would probably have changed the verdict, [citations omitted] Additionally, the trial court has discretion to grant or deny a new trial when it is sought on the ground of newly discovered evidence which is suspicious or incredible, [citations omitted] In such situations the decision to grant or deny a new trial will not be disturbed on appeal.”
