Under the statutes of most states in this country, once a motion for a new trial has been heard and taken under submission, the judge who heard the motion has ninety (90) days from the date the matter is taken under submission to make a written decision on the motion.
In the situation that you are writing about, if you have a criminal defense attorney representing you, you should consult further with him or her about the motion. If you do not have an criminal defense attorney, you should consider consulting with one.
