2018Newly discovered evidence satisfies the second prong of this test if it "weakens the case against [the defendant] so as to give rise to a reasonable doubt as to his culpability." Id. at 526 (quoting Jones v. State , 678 So.2d 309 , 315 (Fla. 1996) ( Jones I ) ).

Jones v. Stategreen
fla · 1991 · cited in 8 Florida opinions naming this issue, 1999–2018
2 sentences

2018In determining whether the evidence compels a new trial, the trial court must "consider all newly discovered evidence which would be admissible," and must "evaluate the weight of both the newly discovered evidence and the evidence which was introduced at the trial." Jones v. State , 591 So.2d 911 , 916 (Fla. 1991).

1999We further find that the PET-scan claim, even if it were not procedurally barred, does not meet the second prong of the test in Jones v. State, 591 So.2d 911 (Fla.1991), for admission of newly discovered evidence.

2013In its order, the court also found that the plaintiff failed to establish long-arm jurisdiction. 1 In light of our holding that the plaintiff stated a cause of action for torts occurring in Florida, the court should conduct the second prong of the analysis described in Venetian Salami Co. v. Parthenais, 554 So.2d 499 (Fla.1989), if the defendant files an affidavit refuting the complaint’s allegations or raising an issue of minimum contacts.

2024See Devon Neighborhood Ass'n, 67 So. 3d at 197 ("Because we have reached this conclusion under prong 1 In Cantens, the Third District mischaracterized Menendez as having concluded that the statute in that case "evinced a clear expression of legislative intent to apply retroactively" "because" the statute at issue "applied to 'any action.'

2014Bernard contends that Devon Neighborhood Association supports her argument that the 2010 definition of “covered claim” applies in this case because, in the course of its analysis, the Court cited Menendez v. Progressive Express Insurance Co., 35 So.3d 873 (Fla.2010), for the proposition that “the statute in effect at the time an insurance contract is executed governs substantive issues arising in connection with that contract.” Devon Neighborhood Association, 67 So.3d at 195 n. 7 (internal quotation omitted).
