I agree with your opinion. And there is malfeasance on the behalf of the prosecutor. Ramos and Campeon should easily win in appeal but I suspect they will be pardoned this fall in any event.

They likely won’t win, even on further appeal. The trier of fact, in this case the jury, decides what facts are worthy of belief and weight, and their findings won’t be overturned on appeal abuse of discretion, proof of prosecutorial misconduct (concealing evidence from the defense) or newly discovered evidence. Since the defense knew about the evidence but couldn’t get it in, it won’t enter into the court’s decision absent the above abuse of discretion.
