My undesrtanding is that all the Feds asked for was a review of the facts by a superior court. Remember, the appeals courts only ruled on legal process, not on the facts presented at trial. They could not legally overturn the initial findings unless it could be proved that Greer was incompetent or corrupted.
Exactly. And the Schindlers' attorney proceeded to lay out, to Judge Whitmore, all of the procedural issues he had with Judge Greer.
No facts. What was Whitmore supposed to do? He can't act on information not presented to him, nor is it his job to drag the facts out of an attorney.
