re-examines

Looks over twice

Re-examines means to examine again, typically with fresh attention or from a new angle.

Someone re-examines evidence when new information emerges, or re-examines their assumptions after being challenged: The court re-examines the witness testimony.

The word suggests deliberate scrutiny rather than casual review.
