EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — The state Court of Appeals has reversed a southwestern Indiana judge's decision that granted a new trial for an Evansville man convicted in a 2019 shooting that killed one man and wounded a second. The appeals court disagreed with a Vanderburgh County judge's finding that Elijah Parchman was denied a fair trial due to prosecutors' failure to provide the entire criminal history for a key witness in his trial. The court's opinion, issued in late December, states that evidence is only material if it could have changed the result of the trial.
