New trial on Material Evidence A newtrial shall be granted an accused where material evidence favorable to the accused has been discovered since trial. Under that Statute a defendant is omitted to have his Motion for very trial granted it. As the newly discovered evidence was unknown, to him at the time of trial, (2) his failure to discover the new evidence was not due to his lack of due difference. (3) the new evidence is admissible and not merely Cumulative corroborative, Col lateral, or impeaching and (4) the new evidence is probably true, and will probably bring about additerent result at trial.

Conclusion

Appell Seeks to, contextualize, the theoretical iscientifie conchupous in his case by examining the probability of finding a B 100 profile matches in the state of Texas convicted offender DNA database. As the State was able to introduce the astenemical statistics in regard to b 10 ci matches it would certainly be both material and relevant to counter-thase Statistics with the probability of finding a B 1000 matchss in the Texas database. The State has unlimited and unfettered access to Texas convicted database.
