"To your point, him inside of the courtroom every day is a huge disadvantage to his defense," he said. "When you see him being absent from the courtroom that is not because he does not want to be there. Any smart trial lawyer would say you have a habit of making faces, you make noises, you can not help yourself attacking the judge, it is better if you are only there when you literally have to be there."
He continued:
"You start whining and making faces and pouting in front of the judge, what tends to happen in a trial is things stop going your way with important evidence rulings that can effect the outcome of the case," he added.Especially in a jury trial. Judges can ignore that shit when they’re the truer of fact (and take it into account at the end), but they won’t stand for it when a jury is present. And juries tend to be on the judge’s side, and hold antics against the defendant.
Contempt is also an option. Just pushing the judge to the point he has to threaten it is a sure way to lose the jury.
😈
(I still think Trump leaves the room because he doesn’t hear his name mentioned often enough, and so he gets bored.)
