I don't understand your answer
The case was an extremely complicated case, and there were numerous curveballs. Although the lawyers are some of the best in the state, it's impossible to deal with everything in such a complicated case. The prosecutors didn't explain exactly how the financial facilitation charge went down, as there are two prongs to the charge, and they only clarified one before the trial (which was later changed during the trial, and which they filed an appeal about, which was denied). The defense asked before for them to clarify, but they didn't. They had filed numerous motions along the way about a slew of things, but it's not feasible to file motions about every misstep from the prosecutor. It was only in hindsight, when the judge changed the jury instructions and the jury convicted on that count, when it became clear just how important this was.
