Haha, you can only appeal based upon the record you've made. There are no new tactics or angles in appeal. If you didn't try it during the trial, you've waived it on appeal.

Besides, that's like saving your starting QB till the fourth quarter. The chance of winning on appeal (and a win doesn't mean "not guilty," it simply means you go back to trial) are significantly lower than winning at trial. No one plays the long game in a criminal proceeding.

Appeals mostly only cover points of law, so unless there was a big controversy during the trial Gasser probably fricked.
