I agree and I would add that he only gives up the fight against this judge.
He will exhaust every avenue. Writ of Habeas Corpus next? Or is there a time limit on that which has expired? I think he gave up when the judge said no to putting Vlad on the stand and having to remove the 40-odd new exhibits created since trial.
Yes - the Judge did a great job on this point - e.g. with CODIS
If you want to litigate all that stuff, then you need to find a process to get yourself a hearing and bring the witnesses.
BUT
You just had a trial you could have produced the witnesses at! Instead you just made wild accusations without foundation.
This was also McGee's point on EIC.
There was a lot of stuff Vlad could have speculated about, but the defence struggled with evidential foundation on that stuff. Did calls really bounce around the towers like the defence wished to allege? e.g. if you say CM was really at MSM or at home when he is clocked on other sites, how do you prove he was actually at those locations? Also no AT&T witnesses to corroborate what you are talking about. So one sees how Vlad might become a total liability on X
McGee, in his downbeat testimony, pointed out the futility of all this stuff.
