It is up to the defense to catch those during the trial. Her lawyers dropped the ball, big time.
There are some lawyers on here... Rudey, aren't you a lawyer? I know there are more. Shouldn't they have caught this during the trial? What is the deal here?

No, no and no.
Her "lawyers dropping the ball" means nothing here.
"Bringing everything back" without any kind of "finality" is part of the U.S. Court System. If we had the kind of "finality" that you speak of, we'd be convicting the wrong people left and right.
And actually, under U.S. law, it's possible to bring things back to court for a new trial under such things as "false statements."
