Lawyers dont tend to throw 'Hail Mary' passes because everything Lawyers do has consequences.

It doesnt typically work like that. They must think they've got a serious case because they know what the alternative is. It isnt just; 'well that didnt work, I guess we buy him out' and then everything else is forgotten.
Theres a lot of time, money and consequences, both personal and professional, on the line here. For everyone.

Don't lawyers commonly file for mistrials if they lose a case, under grounds relating to (sorry, I'm not versed in subject) the way the prosecution communicated with the defence and presented their case, or even so much as the jury simply made the wrong decision?
This Richards stuff seems to be more similar to this. These things rarely work, but there's no harm in trying. Nothing to lose, a ton to gain.
