Can't the German supreme court reopen cases? The Swedish Supreme Court can reopen cases when there are new evidence, through there are some restrictions. The new evidence/circumstances need to be significant enough that if it was already known during the first trial, then the outcome would most likely been different. There also need to be a good and valid reason why the new evidence was not presented during the first trial. New DNA technology has been the cause for such trials. Last year a person was found guilty of murder after 26 years, after being acquitted from a lack of evidence.
