Highlight

An application for post-conviction relief alleging newly discovered evidence, filed more than two years after the conviction becomes final, may be considered if the new evidence proves the applicant did not engage in the criminal conduct for which he was convicted. N.D.C.C. § 29-32.1-01(3)(a)(1).
To obtain post-conviction relief on the basis of newly discovered evidence, the applicant must show (1) the evidence was discovered after trial, (2) the failure to learn about the evidence at the time of trial was not the result of the defendant's lack of diligence, (3) the newly discovered evidence is material to the issues at trial, and (4) the weight and quality of the newly discovered evidence would likely result in an acquittal.
