2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Bunch v. State · Martinez v. State“Denials of a motion for a new trial are reviewed for an abuse of discretion. Under Trial Rule 59(A), to warrant a new trial based on newly discovered evidence, the movant must show that the evidence (1) has been discovered since the trial; (2) is material and relevant; (8) is not cumulative; (4) is not merely impeaching; (5) is not privileged or incompetent; (6) was not discoverable upon due diligence in time for trial; (7) is worthy of credit; (8) can be produced on a retrial of the case; and (9) will probably produce a different result. Motions for a new trial based upon newly discovered evidence are viewed with disfavor. The movant has the burden of showing that the newly discovered evidence meets all nine prerequisites for a new trial.”
