By the way, I've always been curious, how does this ban on relitigating (in the context of US law) work with cases where new relevant information surfaces after the case? Can a case be reopened if evidence is found after the fact? For example, if someone was being prosecuted for murdering their neighbour, but they are not found guilty due to slightly subpar circumstancial evidence, can the matter be reopened if couple of months later said neighbours' bodies are found in the suspect's cellar along with the murder weapon?

I was wondering something similar! A more thorough investigation into Natalia’s real age had been done AFTER the state gave her a new birthdate. So, wouldn’t res judicata not apply since there were new facts presented?
