September 26, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 39 MEMORANDUM;... There has been no claim that the government knowingly presented perjured testimony at Holmes's trial and there is nothing to support such a claim. Indeed, it is the Court's firm belief that at the time of the trial the gover nment had no reason to question the credibility of its witnesses. However, the witnesses have now been discredited, and the government would not have been able to meet its burden of proof with the remaining evidence. Thus, for the reasons discussed a bove, the Court finds that Holmes has met his burden of establishing his entitlement to a new trial based on newly discovered. Because Holmes will receive a new trial, it is unnecessary to address his additional claims regarding the admissibility of evidence and ineffective assistance of counsel. A separate Order granting the movant's request for relief will accompany this Memorandum. Signed by Honorable Carol E. Jackson on 09/26/2011; (DJO)
