““We need not address this issue because the record reveals that defendant’s motion was not properly before the Superior Court. All motions for new trial based on any ground other than newly discovered evidence must be made within ten days of the verdict unless the court grants an extension within the ten days ... [Ujnless evidence of juror misconduct can be characterized as newly discovered evidence, defendant’s motion was not timely.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Dionne v. Maine“We decline to adopt ... an expansive definition of "newly discovered evidence." Although we are aware other courts have taken a different view, it has always been our position that the kind of evidence contemplated by the rule is solely that which bears on the guilt or innocence of the accused.”
