The court case is in the process of being overturned due to a jury member being an admitted activist and the jury as a whole being intimidated by terrorists force a conviction.

I suspect that you're wrong about that.

But certainly the defence is obligated to request a new trial. They might get a Schwartz hearing, but I've heard informed opinion that none of the issues raised are close to egregious enough to warrant impeaching the verdict.

But time will tell.
