Historically, most successful appeals were the result of overlooked errors in jury instructions – often these errors were verbose instructions that confused jurors. For an appeal to be successful, the jury instructions have to be read as a whole and found to contain errors that were not harmless, but rather which ultimately made for an unfair trial. ---Cornell Law School

Guess what has not been done yet? A successful appeal.

Here's your source, BTW since you failed to actually link it:

It goes on to say:

Appeals due to errors in jury instruction have been greatly reduced by the implementation of model, standard, or pattern instructions for specific jurisdictions.

The instructions given to the jury were clear and standard. They were unanimous in their decision. So keep grasping at straws.

Standard? Right...keep telling yourself that. And if you really knew much about law, you'd know that a successful appeal can't happen that fast. The process has been started though, and they've already delayed his sentencing, so we'll see

He used the standard for instruction. You can delude yourself into thinking he did not but all it will be is a delusion.

Okay bud, whatever you say

Thanks for finally agreeing, bud. Glad that the delusions are fading.
