What reaction advice do u think he got from his lawyers?
Something like,
"We're about to go in for the first appearance. It's a small courtroom, but there will be a lot of people there, including media and possible some of Shanann's family members. You will be directed to have a seat at a table in the front of the courtroom facing the judge. I will sit on one side of you and your other lawyer will sit on the other. You do not need to acknowledge the media or anyone in the courtroom. I want you to have a seat at the table and sit up straight and keep your eyes forward. The judge is going to read the charges against you and discuss the punishment range---I have already discussed that with you. The judge will ask you questions, such as whether you understand the charges. I want you to answer him clearly, 'Yes, sir' or 'No, sir' or 'Yes, Your Honor'/'No, Your Honor.' I don't want you to react one way or the other to what the judge says. Keep a poker face. If you have any questions, you can whisper them to me, but keep in mind that there is a microphone on our table and it may pick up your voice. It would be better for you to ask me questions now or after we are done. When this is over, the judge will leave the courtroom first, and then we will be directed to leave. Stay close to me and do not communicate to anyone in the gallery."
