What I find especially egregious about this trial is how this individual is blatantly disrespectful to the courtroom official - with 0 consequences. I.e., it's extremely evident that if John/Jane Q. Public (i.e., an average citizen) ever talked to a court official this way - they would be:
1) Cited with contempt of court & fined
2) Thrown out of the courtroom
3) Arrested & jailed
So, why are they letting him get away with this?! Because of fear, obviously. They don't want to challenge him because they're afraid of what he will do to them. He's treating them like punks, and they're taking it. Typical.
