Opinion of the Court

On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 23, 2018 order of the Court of Appeals is considered. We DIRECT the Wayne County *789Prosecuting Attorney to answer the application for leave to appeal within 28 days after the date of this order. In the answer, the prosecuting attorney shall address: (1) whether the trial court failed to "carefully consider the newly discovered evidence in light of the evidence presented at trial," People v. Grissom , 492 Mich. 296, 321, 821 N.W.2d 50 (2012) ; (2) "whether a reasonable juror could find the testimony credible on retrial," People v. Johnson , 502 Mich. 541, 567, 918 N.W.2d 676 (2018) ; and (3) whether the newly discovered evidence makes a different result probable on retrial. Id. at 566, 571-572, 918 N.W.2d 676. The motion for bond pending appeal and the motion for peremptory reversal are DENIED.

The application for leave to appeal remains pending.
