This bill amends section 29-2101 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, which outlines the grounds for granting a new trial after a conviction. The amendments clarify the language used in the statute by replacing certain terms with their capitalized counterparts, such as changing "misconduct" to "Misconduct," "accident" to "Accident," and "the" to "The." Additionally, the term "newly" is capitalized in two instances, and "error" is also capitalized.

The bill maintains the original grounds for requesting a new trial, which include irregularities in court proceedings, jury misconduct, accidents or surprises, insufficient evidence, newly discovered evidence, and legal errors during the trial. The original section 29-2101 is repealed, indicating that the updated language will replace the previous version entirely.
