The Bragg gang can argue all they want. The fact remains the jury was presented with inadmissible evidence, and therefore tainted.
That requires a new trial (at least) for any conviction so found with such tainted presentations.
It just is. The law of the land.
I will change my “mistrial” term above to the NYS term “a motion to set aside verdict.”
Will have to keep one foot in the NY system for the present. If they refuse to have a new trial, appeals might take time.
