Syllabus

If a significant trial witness recants his or her prior testimony, courts must apply a two-step analysis. First, the court must determine the credibility of the recantation. Second, the trial court must determine whether this testimony could have affected the outcome of the trial. In general, purported recantation testimony is viewed with suspicion.
