Motions for New Trial

When a criminal defendant is convicted at the trial level of criminal court, the defendant is entitled to one criminal appeal as a matter of right. Sometimes, the appellate court will find that a harmful error in the trial procedure led to a tainted outcome of the case, and the criminal appeal will result in the court granting a new trial. This eliminates any previous findings of fact and forces the state attorney to start from scratch again. The advantage to having a new trial is that the defendant and his or her attorney have the opportunity of knowing what worked well and what did not work well in the previous trial. This gives the attorney a better gauge of whether to present certain evidence, call certain witnesses, or put the defendant on the stand to testify.
