Description
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction of a misdemeanor. Appellant-defendant Harwood was found guilty of having had
in his possession a game animal, specifically a mountain goat, taken in an area outside that specified in his permit in violation
of IC. § 36-805. The trial court imposed a fine of $300 and a fifteen day sentence in the county jail. We reverse
the judgment and remand the cause for a new trial. Of appellant's assignments of error, we need consider only two. First, that a portion of the carcass of a mountain goat was
seized from appellant's motor vehicle unlawfully and therefore the admission of that carcass into evidence over his objection
was erroneous. Second, appellant contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion for a new trial. That motion was
made on the basis of newly discovered evidence which was in the possession of the prosecutor at the time of trial and was
not disclosed by the prosecutor. It is asserted that such evidence established the innocence of the defendant with certainty.
