CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: Provides relative to motions for a new trial. (8/1/26)

This bill amends Louisiana's Code of Criminal Procedure to clarify how courts handle motions for a new trial. It establishes that appellate courts can only review these motions if there was a legal error, rather than re-evaluating the facts or evidence. To succeed, a defendant must prove that no reasonable jury could have found them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution. This change standardizes the legal test for granting new trials and limits the scope of appellate review to questions of law.
