There are specific and limited judicial justifications for Appeals Courts to grant new trials....and, as far as I know, the history of the "victim" in this case does not meet those standards.
Did the judge act improperly?
Was material evidence improperly withheld by the prosecution?
I am still looking for a compelling legal argument that the lower court committed a "reversible error."
