Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) the evidence [was] unknown or unavailable to the defendant at the time of trial; (2) the defendant [was] duly diligent in attempting to uncover it; (3) the newly discovered evidence [is] material; and (4) the newly discovered evidence ... probably will result in an acquittal upon retrial.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Abuse of discretion is the standard under which we review the denial of a defendant’s motion for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence. To prevail on such a motion, the defendant must prove that (1) the evidence was unknown or unavailable at the time of trial, (2) the defendant did not lack diligence in attempting to uncover it, (3) the newly found evidence is material, and (4) the evidence is likely to produce an acquittal if a new trial is granted. The motion is properly denied if the newly discovered evidence is merely cumulative or impeaching.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“To receive a new trial based on newly discovered evidence, a defendant must show (1) that the evidence was not discovered until after the trial; (2) that due diligence would not have revealed the evidence; (3) that the evidence is not merely cumulative or impeaching; (4) that the evidence is material; and (5) that the evidence is such as to be likely to lead to acquittal.”
