Hey Geevee! I don't think any way he will get another trial on assault. That is just a motion all defense's probably put it just in case some miracle happens and the judge decides to grant it. Like Jodi's lawyers and all their motions to dismiss the whole trial over some little thing, or motions to get removed from the case when they knew that wouldn't happen. There was no issue in this trial, everything was presented fairly and the jury convicted, so IMO there is nothing the judge can do.
Hiya aa :seeya:
I figured it must be a long shot, hope we get to see the argument and ruling. And sentencing next Friday.
