| 1 | Maund v. State Anchor | green | “the overruling of a motion for a new trial based upon newly discovered evidence tending only to discredit the state's witnesses is not error unless upon the whole case it appears probable that the new evidence would change the result.” | 4 |
| 2 | Slaughter v. State | green | “the authorities generally recognize the rule that ordinarily such impeaching or contradicting testimony does not suffice for a new trial, though there are exceptional instances where such proffered proof may justify a reconsideration of the cause.” | 3 |
