It was correct when posted - then the judge allowed defense to appeal.

I didn’t see it. Given the extreme ignorance and sloppiness with which media, left, right and center, covers legal issues, I doubt reading any articles would help.

Based on what I’m seeing, I think this is what has happened: one does not seek permission to appeal. This would not be an appeal, it would be a writ— simplified, call it an extremely expedited appeal of a single issue. What is reported as the judge “allowing” is him agreeing not to discharge the jury and release them from confidentiality pending determination of the writ application. If the jury were discharged they could not be reconvened
