New trial refers to a legal process in which a new hearing is granted to a defendant. This new hearing is usually granted after the defendant has been found guilty in a previous hearing, and is meant to bring new evidence or witnesses forward. There are several synonyms for the term "new trial," including retrial, rehearing, do-over, and second chance. These terms all refer to the same legal process, but may be used in different contexts or by different individuals. Regardless of the term used, a new trial gives defendants a fresh start and the opportunity to present new evidence in court.
