1Opinion of the CourtBernstein, J.
**548 In these consolidated cases, we consider whether the trial court erred by declining to grant new trials following defendants' motions for relief from judgment. After weighing the evidence presented at the trials along with defendants' claims of newly discovered evidence, we hold that the evidence in the form of testimony given by Charmous Skinner Jr. (Skinner) would make a different result probable on retrial. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of *679 the Court of Appeals in part and remand these cases to the trial court for new trials. 1
