Newly-discovered Evidence in United States
Newly-discovered Evidence Definition
Proof of some new material fact in a case, ascertained since the decision. To constitute such newly-discovered evidence as is ground for a new trial, the evidence must be new and material, not merely impeaching (125 111. 122; 24 Pick. [Mass.] 246; 67 Barb. [N. Y.] 411; 36 Minn. 323), nor cumulative (20 Conn. 306; 43 Barb. [N. Y.] 203). It must have been discovered since the former trial (39 Me. 263; 37 How. Pr. [N. Y.] 524), and reasonable diligence must have been used, without success, to discover it in time for the trial (113 111. 82; 34 Minn. 351; 35 Hun [N. Y.] 95).
