I wonder if this is Ms. Powell’s preparation for the appellate court.
By putting Judge Sullivan in the position of ignoring proprietorial malfeasance, an appellate court might reverse his ruling.
My understanding of the appeals process is that the appellate court looks only at the evidence presented at trial in the lower court and whether that evidence was properly ruled on/used, etc.
If that is correct, and it may not be, then there is the further question of how much of the information Powell has produced was properly introduced so as to be an essential part of the original trial.
There is a process that allows a new trial when a sufficient amount of new evidence is discovered, but I don’t know what that process is.
I hope a lawyer who is experienced in the appeal process would comment.
Actually my attorney is highly experienced in this area, but I am not going to pester him every time I have a brainstorm on FB.
proprietorial = #$%
Hit wrong word in spell check.
Should be prosecutorial .
A good attorney will lay legal landmines and raise objections in order to lay groundwork for an appeal
