`  :First of all, Reyes' admission of guilt did not count as ``new evidence.`` Police had always possessed the evidence in question  Reyes' semen on the Jogger's sock  and had said from the beginning (1989) that they did not have all of the attackers, including the owner of the semen. Second, the court did not ``accept`` anything; it merely acted on DA Morgenthau's request. The courts do not re-examine evidence; they either admit it or reject it for use in an adversarial proceeding.
