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.
Either I didn't make myself clear or you skimmed too quickly. I said in the first sentence:
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.
After that was granted, as was expected and should have been:
evidence not previously considered, evidence presented but ignored, and new evidence would be presented and reviewed.
Considering the stakes, that seems a perfectly reasonable request and expectation.
