I'm just a little dumbstruck that their lawyers have managed to put together an appeal case
Bear in mind that the job of a lawyer is to represent his client. Guilt is not a relavent consideration; nor is truth. They're for the judges and the jury to consider. The lawyer's job is to demolish the opposition's argument - and, if the case is unwinnable, then to make sure that the client gets the least-bad outcome possible.
I suspect that people tend to forget that about lawyers. And, yes, I am currently putting in an application to train as a barrister...
