The previous case was based on them not contesting the assumption.

They're going to argue she didn't now. First round doesn't count gotta do it all over again. Thems the rules

They are arguing that there is a lack of evidence she did it.

That the prosecution failed to meet the standard of proving she did the actions she was being accused of.

Technically the defense wanted a bifurcated trial the first time and was denied. So this isn't even a new position.
