Lake’s team filed the Rule 60(b) motion requesting a second trial based on newly found evidence, but the trial court judge, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson, greatly limited the scope of her second trial and then ruled against her.
Olsen said during oral argument that the Rule 60(b) motion addressed three new types of evidence that emerged after the original trial. He said the Rule 60(b) motion addressed three new types of evidence that emerged after the original trial.
