Description
A criminal conviction in California does not always mark the end of the case. Under California Penal Code § 1181, a court has the authority to grant a new trial when errors, misconduct, or newly discovered evidence undermine the fairness or reliability of the original verdict. A Motion for New Trial is the formal method used to ask the court to review the proceedings and set aside the verdict.
This service provides a custom-prepared Motion for New Trial under Penal Code § 1181, drafted specifically for your case. Each motion is written based on the trial record, procedural history, and the statutory grounds applicable to your situation. This is not a generic or pre-filled template. Your filing is prepared to clearly present the issues that support a new trial under California law.
Grounds for a Motion for New Trial Under Penal Code § 1181
California law recognizes multiple grounds upon which a new trial may be granted. Depending on your case, your motion may be based on one or more of the following:
Newly Discovered Evidence
When evidence is discovered after trial that could not have been found earlier with reasonable diligence and is likely to change the outcome of the case.
Jury Misconduct
When jurors engage in improper behavior, receive outside information, or otherwise act in a manner that compromises the fairness of the verdict.
Prosecutorial Misconduct
When improper arguments, withholding of evidence, or other misconduct by the prosecution affected the defendant’s right to a fair trial.
Errors of Law
When the court made legal errors during trial, including improper rulings on evidence, jury instructions, or motions, that impacted the verdict.
Insufficient Evidence
When the verdict is not supported by the evidence presented at trial.
Irregularities in the Proceedings
When procedural errors, court conduct, or other irregularities prevented a fair and impartial trial.
Your motion will be drafted to identify the applicable grounds under Penal Code § 1181 and explain why the court has authority to grant a new trial.
