As I understand it, that was not the time or place for presenting evidence but simply a request to step back and look at everything anew. During that extension evidence not previously considered, evidence presented but ignored, and new evidence would be presented and reviewed. This would have cleared up all the confusion and eliminated conversations like this. To deny that seems unreasonable to me.
But it was not presented. Instead, the Schindler's attorney regurgitated the complaints against Greer's handling of the case in state courts.
The judge can only deal with what the attorney puts in front of him. It's not his job to pry the information out of a clueless barrister.
