This case seems kinda like getting convicted for running a green light and not being able to appeal it.
More like getting convicted for running a red light (he DID commit the infraction he was being penalized for), and getting fined $300 instead of the $75 it says on the back of the ticket.

But in any case, it's idiotic to me that this case ever moved forward. Refs make mistakes. Appealing one after the game is over (one you didn't even appeal on the field when it happened) and insisting the game get replayed from that point is idiotic. They might as well replay every single game ever.
