> his overturned conviction only for wrong jurisdiction
What are you getting at?
If an appeals court says “wrong jurisdiction”, that’s an “rm -rf” on the whole entire case. There’s nothing left to argue about.

Considering he was convicted in another jurisdiction, and they can retry him in the 'right' one, why wouldn't a reasonable person anticipate that might happen?
I don't think Weev is living in Ukraine/Transnistria to practice his Slavic languages.
And the reason why I brought up it was overturned, was because I knew someone would mention his case was vacated, and I wanted to make clear it wasn't vacated because there was something improper found about the legal question of the CFAA.
I think that the type of person that excels at software development would also excel at lawyering. But they should probably go to law school and pay attention in class.

I think your parent comment meant something like "the case wasn't overturned on the basis of deficiencies in the legal theory of the crime."
Perhaps selfishly, I'd rather get out of a trial in the motion to dismiss stage, rather than having to very-expensively argue the merits all the way to the end.
If the court had no jurisdiction, it is not possible for them to rule on "deficiencies in the legal theory of the crime" in that case.
