I think the video you posted earlier by Legal Eagle (and other talking head lawyers I think I've seen in the past week) concluded that there were numerous points in the trial and this post-verdict, penalty-finding phase where a defense lawyer would have to put objections on the record in court to preserve any basis for appeals. Habba failed to do so in every instance, instead merely huffing in frustration that court in the real world didn't work the way she thought court did in beautiful people world and taking her seat.

The frustrating thing is that even though Trump's counsel left him zero room for LEGITIMATE appeal, the process still has to be followed to provide the illusion of letting him FILE an appeal which then triggers more opportunities to litigate each micro-step of the process rather than having the court jump ahead to the end of the story and immediately rule he has no grounds, stop the delay tactics, and force a final payment.
