I wonder if the defense can file an appeal before the closing arguments are finished. If so, I wonder if some legal scholars would be sending in draft appeals to the defense team as I type.

The defense does not want a mistrial. They want a verdict. They have more than enough ammunition for a later retrial, but if an appeal were granted at this point the only remedy would be a new trial.
