Syllabus

Motion for leave; motion for new trial; exculpatory evidence; newly discovered evidence; unavoidably prevented; public records request. - Trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant leave to move for a new trial or denying his petition for postconviction relief because appellant failed to demonstrate that (1) he was unavoidably prevented from discovering the evidence he relied on it support of his motion; (2) how the supporting documentation qualified as Brady material; and (3) the State suppressed the evidence supporting his motion. Appellant failed to demonstrate that he complied with R.C. 149.43 in his attempt to obtain public records to support his \unavoidably prevented\ burden.
