United States v. Glinn, No. 19-3021 (8th Cir. 2020)
Annotate this CaseThe Eighth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of defendant's motion for a new trial based on newly-discovered evidence. The court held that the district court did not clearly err in denying the motion without a hearing, because defendant did not identify any evidentiary support for his allegations and thus they were insufficient to warrant a new trial. In this case, there is no reason to believe that new evidence related to a prior shooting would change the jury's verdict.
