Are you saying that the rules of evidence were violated by the trial judge, or that the agents had incompetent counsel. If the judge erred, then that would be a point of error for the appeal, assuming the error was preserved for appeal. My understanding is that the agents retained their own attorneys and that they were not appointed by the court.

"Are you saying that the rules of evidence were violated by the trial judge..."

The transcripts are sealed, so nothing can be totally ascertained, but based on comments by those that were participants, much evidence wsa not presented, and much of what was presented was technically not useable by the jury because it was given by participants whose truthfulness had been brought into question by grants of immunity.
