1. ““RCr 12.54 provides that an appeal to this court may be taken within ten days from the entry of judgment; but if ‘timely’ motion for new trial has been made, the appeal may be taken within ten days after the motion is overruled. RCr 10.06 limits the time for service of a motion for new trial to the period of five days after return of the verdict— except that if it is made on the ground of newly discovered evidence, the motion may be made at any time within one year after entry of the judgment or even later if the court for good cause permits.””

2. ““For the purpose of clarifying RCr 12.54 according to what this court considers to be its present meaning, the period at the end of RCr 12.54 is changed to a semicolon, and the following proviso is added: “ ‘Provided, however, that in the case of a motion for new trial made later than five days after return of the verdict, the appeal must be from the order overruling or denying the motion, and the review on appeal shall be limited to the grounds timely raised by the motion as provided by RCr 10.06.’ ””
