    221 Ga. App. 375 (Ga. Ct. App. 1996)   Cited 9 times
    Holding that defendant's presence and knowledge of potential witness's involvement in incident precluded defendant from establishing first Timberlake factor

    Our review is circumscribed because "`motions for new trial upon the ground of newly discovered evidence are addressed to the sound discretion of the trial judge, and a refusal to grant the motion will not be reversed unless [that] discretion is abused.' [Cit.]" Brown v. State, 209 Ga. App. 314, 316 (2) ( 433 S.E.2d 321) (1993). We first note that the new evidence here is not so much newly discovered as newly available, an important distinction noted in Hester v. State, 219 Ga. App. 256 (1) ( 465 S.E.2d 288) (1995).

  6. Patterson v. State

    441 S.E.2d 414 (Ga. Ct. App. 1994)   Cited 9 times
    Finding child victim's prior inconsistent statements constituted substantive evidence of defendant's guilt although child recanted at trial

    By our decision, we are rejecting the contention, made by appellant, that it cannot be a valid waiver unless the defendant knows the rules of evidence and is aware of the scientific ramifications and questionable reliability of such tests. See Brown v. State, 209 Ga. App. 314, 316 (1) ( 433 S.E.2d 321) (1993).

  7. Dixon v. Hart

    Case No. CV413-109 (S.D. Ga. Nov. 5, 2013)

    Setting aside the question of due diligence, this affidavit submitted by [Dixon] fails to meet the newly discovered evidence standard under well-settled Georgia law. "A post-trial declaration by a State witness that his former testimony was false is not cause for a new trial." Pryor v. State, 179 Ga. App. 293,294 (1986) (cit. omitted); Brown v. State, 209 Ga. App. 314, 316; Drake v. State, 248 Ga. 891, 894 (1982). Doc. 18-7 at 2-3.
