Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 27, 2026 —

Eric Grant, who was convicted in 2018 for a murder at a Colorado Springs auto shop in 2017, is seeking a new trial. His defense challenges evidence used in the case, arguing that authorities fabricated a statement implicating Grant and presented misleading digital forensic evidence about his whereabouts at the time of the crime.

The claims raise two distinct challenges to the case against Grant: the defense disputes the authenticity of a statement and the accuracy of digital evidence. The information provided does not specify what the statement said, how the defense alleges it was fabricated, or what digital records were presented at trial.

Details about the request for a new trial were not provided. The court where the request was made, when it was filed, and whether a judge has scheduled or issued a decision are not known from the available information. The prosecution’s response to the defense arguments was also not provided.

The available account does not identify the victim, the auto shop, or the specific evidence presented at trial beyond the disputed statement and digital forensic evidence. It also does not provide details about Grant’s conviction or sentence. Those omissions leave the present procedural status of the case unclear.

For now, the stated basis for Grant’s request is the defense’s contention that authorities fabricated an incriminating statement and that digital forensic evidence concerning his whereabouts was misleading. No findings about those allegations, or outcome of the request for a new trial, were included in the information provided.
