HRS §124B-114
Petition for a new trial
This section lets a person convicted by a court-martial ask the governor for a new trial within two years after the sentence is approved, but only if they have new evidence or the court was tricked. If their appeal is already in court, the judge advocate sends the request there; otherwise, the judge advocate decides it.

The statute, as written — Petition for a new trial
At any time within two years after approval by the convening authority of a court-martial sentence that extends to dismissal or dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge, the accused may petition the governor for a new trial on the grounds of newly discovered evidence or fraud on the court-martial. If the accused's case is pending before the state intermediate appellate court or state supreme court, the state judge advocate shall refer the petition to the appropriate court for action. Otherwise, the state judge advocate shall act upon the petition.
