Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

Re: If an officer withheld evident, is that consider a mistrial after being conv

If a police officer failed to disclose evidence, this might be a basis for a motion for a new trial, or post-conviction relief -- or, it might not be. It would depend upon all the facts and circumstances, including discovery obligations and request, testimony under oath, etc.

Re: If an officer withheld evident, is that consider a mistrial after being conv

If exculpatory evidence was not disclosed, it may be a basis for a new trial. Whether or not that is the case depends on the nature of the evidence and how likely that evidence would be to result in an acquittal.
