Judges have a lot of discretion, so the standards for reversal on appeal are high hurdles for the defendant.
Only in the rarest of cases (not applicable here) would a jury's factual findings be questioned. Juries are the final arbiters of facts.
As always I am making no predictions about outcome. I am observing that if you hear "this is an appealable issue" keep in mind a large gap between "appealable" and "winable."
