Just a further follow up - you actually can appeal that the jury was just outright wrong, but that would be an really hard impossible case to win here, i doubt thats what they would try. But just as an FYI
https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/judgment_notwithstanding_the_verdict_(jnov)
A judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) is a judgment by the trial judge after a jury has issued a verdict, setting aside the jury's verdict and entering a judgment in favor of the losing party without a new trial. A JNOV is very similar to a directed verdict except for the timing within a trial. A judge will issue a JNOV if he or she determines that no reasonable jury could have reached the jury’s verdict based on the evidence presented at trial, or if the jury incorrectly applied the law in reaching its verdict.
edit: Added emphasis there as well, which they could maybe try I guess given their error of law comment.
