Clarifies grounds for a new trial in criminal cases in Nebraska.
Nebraska LB601 amends the state's criminal procedure law by clarifying the grounds for a defendant to request a new trial. The bill specifies that a new trial may be granted if there was irregularity in court proceedings, misconduct by the jury, or if the verdict is not supported by sufficient evidence. It also includes newly discovered evidence and errors of law as grounds for a new trial. The bill repeals the original section 29-2101 and replaces it with these clarified provisions.
