Description

Defendant was convicted of the illegal sale of marijuana, by testimony of only one witness -- an undercover police officer. After the trial, defense counsel was told by the officer that the latter believed that anyone responsible for a conviction in a narcotics case was eligible for a $100 reward and that he intended to try to collect the reward. Defense counsel, believing that such information impaired the veracity of the officer's testimony, promptly moved for a new trial. The trial court judge apparently believed that the newly discovered evidence might have affected the verdict if offered at the trial. He granted a new trial stating in particular detail the nature of the newly discovered evidence, and further stated that his ruling was based upon "profound and serious questions of public policy and the sound administration of justice that must govern the courts, rather than on a mere question of new discovered evidence." The state appealed.
