It's the rules. Can't withold evidence that could prove innocence.
Assuming that prosecution had the evidence and didn't share it.
It's called exculpatory evidence and if proven that it was withheld, not only should she get a new trial but the prosecutors from the first trial should have their own trial, and at the very least be disbarred.

At least from this opinion, no indication that it was withheld by the prosecution. Perkins' attorney had it in a box of documents provided by the family. Unless that document was provided to the State, and there's no indication that it was, it's not really anyone's fault. And considering Perkins plead after this trial, I don't think it's reasonable to expect his attorney to have given it to anyone while Perkins' case was still pending.
