NO, it was very valuable time.
Preserves the error.
In more than one regard.
Don’t forget the Ferrer case about overtaxing lawyers.
I am sure MOM knows about it.
Clearly West made those comments last night to further support an appeal. It wasn’t the first comment they have made to ask for more time. And frankly, if the judge was smart and indeed, would not want a ruling overturned, she would have allowed time. IMO, the judge would be fine with a conviction that gets overturned. Get’s her off the hook and down the road.
