State v. Goshea
Supreme Court of Vermont

1Opinion of the CourtHill, J.
This appeal is from a conviction of murder in the first degree. The defendant was tried by a jury and sentenced to life in prison. Following the verdict, motions for judgment of acquittal (not pursued here) and a new trial were denied. Three months after the verdict and prior to sentencing, the defendant filed a second motion for a new trial. This motion, unlike the first, was based on the ground of newly discovered evidence. As amended, it alleged that the State’s Attorney had withheld evidence tending to negate the guilt of the accused. The trial court denied the motion. We reverse.
