B.2(y). Wrongful Conviction Review
When new evidence likely would have changed a verdict resulting in a conviction and incarceration, any official possessing it must notify the court. The court must review; if confidence in the verdict is undermined, the Person shall be released, the conviction vacated, and the record expunged unless the Government clearly justifies continued detention.
