Maybe the lawyer was hoping to have the case overturned due to attorney negligence... I can't count the times my mom's opponents in the courtroom have tried that (she's a prosecutor). Hopeless case, try to screw something up big enough to get the case retried with different counsel, but not big enough to get in trouble with the bar ...

Doesn't usually work though, the judge usually sees right through it
