Law of Criminal Procedure

Any of the parties may petition for reconsideration of any final judgment imposing punishment, in the following cases: 1.If the accused is convicted of homicide, but the person alleged to be the victim is found to be alive. 2.If a person is convicted for committing an act and another person is convicted for committing the same act, resulting in contradiction entailing that one of the two persons should not have been convicted. 3.If the judgment is based on documents that turn out to be forged, or on testimony that is found by the competent authority to be perjurious. 4.If the judgment is based on another judgment issued by a court and is subsequently nullified. 5.If, after judgment, new evidence or facts that were unknown at the time of trial appear, which could have led to the acquittal of the accused or mitigation of the punishment.
