"Sam Bankman-Fried was never presumed innocent. He was presumed guilty by the judge who presided over his trial," claimed his lawyer in the appeal.
The appeal argues that Judge Kaplan made 'biting comments undermining the defense' and 'deriding' Bankman-Fried's testimony in front of the jury.
Bankman-Fried's legal team insists that the judge's rulings were unfair, blocking key defense arguments and testimony related to his successful investments.
The lawyers also allege procedural violations, claiming an 'unlawful' forfeiture and that Bankman-Fried was denied access to key evidence that would support his case.
