Motions for reconsideration of final judgments imposing sentences or measures may be filed in the following instances: 1. If the Defendant is sentenced on grounds of a murder offense, and the victim is subsequently found alive; 2. If a judgment is rendered against a person on the grounds of a particular incident, and a judgment is subsequently rendered against another person on grounds of the same incident, and there is contradiction between both judgments, so that the innocence of either convict is presumed. 3. If a witness or expert witness is convicted on grounds of perjury offense, or where an paper submitted in the course of the case is later decided to be forged, in the event that the witness testimony, the expert's report or the forged paper has affected the judgment. 4. If the judgment is based on a judgment rendered by a judicial civil or personal status tribunal and which is subsequently overturned; or 5. If, after the judgment is rendered, new facts appear or papers are submitted and of which the Court has no prior knowledge at the time of trial, and such facts or papers would prove the innocence of the convict.
