Keep in mind...the attorneys he hired are infamous for their success in the appeal process...(not that I disagree with the verdict). Just that there's a reason he hired the best firm in the country at over turning murder verdicts...
When the Fulton Co DA allowed Ray Lewis to plead to misdemeanor obstruction in return for testifying against his friend who committed the murder that should have confirmed that he wasn't in fact a murderer himself. It's been quite a long time since that case and I question the intelligence of anyone who hasn't learned by now that Lewis himself was never thought to be the person who stabbed the victim that night.
