New Hampshire HB1422 amends the time limit for petitioning for a new trial in criminal cases.
New Hampshire HB1422 amends the time limit for petitioning for a new trial in criminal cases. It specifies that a new trial shall not be granted unless the petition is filed within three years after the rendition of the judgment complained of, or the failure of the suit. However, this time limit does not apply if the petitioner seeks a new trial in a criminal case that resulted in a conviction of a felony or a class A misdemeanor, or if the petitioner is incarcerated or subject to the terms of a sentence at the time the petition is filed.
