Macias v. State
Opinion
We affirm the order denying appellant’s second motion for postconviction relief based upon newly discovered evidence which would have impeached the credibility of the victim.1 Appellant has not shown that the evidence upon which the motion was based was “unknown by the trial court, by the party, or by counsel at the time of trial, and it must appear that defendant or his counsel could not have known [of it] by the use of diligence.” Torres-Arboleda v. Dugger, 636 So.2d 1321, 1324-25 (Fla.1994), receded from on other grounds by Coleman v. State, 64 So.3d 1210, 1225-27 (Fla.2011) (emphasis supplied). Nor has he shown that the evidence probably would result in an acquittal on retrial. See Jones v. State, 709 So.2d 512, 521 (Fla.1998).
