As part of the plea bargain, they added charges that his co-defendant committed, for which he was not guilty. He co-defendant (step-father) committed them on his own and without his prior knowledge or help in any way. As part of the plea agreement for which he was only supposed to get 10 years, the other crimes were added to his crimes so that both defendants were convicted for the same crimes, although the physical evidence points to only the guilt of the co-defendant. It's not new evidence. Had a jury actually heard the evidence, it is highly unlikely that he would have been convicted of alot of it. He is guilty of one of the five crimes. The second that he is guilty of, he was convicted of a higher offense than what he committed. In answer to your question, though, there is no new evidence. It's old evidence that was never heard.
