The answer is D because it is not a valid ground for appeal. Appellate courts do not second-guess a jury's decision to believe certain evidence over other evidence, as long as the jury was properly instructed on the law. The other options are valid grounds for appeal because they involve errors made by the trial court in its procedures or application of the law.
