Very nice. For district courts.
I am under the impression from the lawyers who have discussed this on tv that it does NOT apply to federal cases such as this one.
Not one of them has mentioned a problem with the jury being reasons for appeal; in fact, most of them have outright stated that that is not the case in federal trials.
We shall see who is correct; if I am wrong, I'll be back to admit it, as I am sure you will be.

No, in this case, as I said in my original post, there probably is not grounds for appeal.
My post went to your sweeping and mistaken impression of what is and is not appealable.
And you were wrong.
But I only went to law school and practiced trial law for near 20 years.
I taught a number of CLE classes on appellate civil procedure.
I don't have your tv watching experience.
Maybe you can watch ER and diagnose my heart ailment.
