They all say that after conviction, but I tend to think he might, and it will probably be funded by his parents. I don't think it will be successful though. The jury convicted. They weren't given a lot of info that was considered too prejudicial, such as CG's prior criminal history, his own past drug use (heroin if I remember rightly). So it can't be blamed on that.
The evidence was sufficient and I don't think an appeal court will cast aside the verdict based on any judicial error, if anything the judge erred on the side of the defense moreso than the state. JMO
I am assuming it is within his rights to appeal, but , also, I am assuming he, to win it, would have to have some grounds of grievance against the original decision,
Unless he thinks that he , looking like a bloke with a Masters Degree from John Hopkins, ought not to be criticised in such a heavy way..
My opinion was, his defence as put forward by Mario was so bad , the Bar Association would object for him.
It was truly a puerile and asinine effort, from Mario, a lot was promised, very little was delivered, two and a half witnesses, ( I put the patrolman as a half , because what his evidence for the defence was seemed to have no bearing on the circumstances, except to portray Chris as a man who folds for a big bloke ( we see Chris nicely putting his own handcuffs on ) and loves to bash small folk, ( which we saw on the vid clip ) , in that respect it was a negative).
Baden was a dud on the stand, for all the trumpet hooting about him previously . He did not come across as a witness who was on the ball . Papa Gregor . Well. What can one say. He did not project sanity , in retrospect. Comparing the two grandfathers , Vito and Dave, the terrible facade of Dave was so repellant.
That was all. People Mario promised either knocked themselves out, like Dr Ragusa , or were knocked out by Chris's uncontrolled and stupid fury ( Mama ) leaving Mario with a lot of egg on his face, an unhappy place for a defence attorney to be.,
All I want to know is, at his appeal is he allowed a suit and tie, OR will I see him in that dreadful prison clobber, because that is what I want, the illfitting gross gear. HIs lifetime outfit.
