This is excruciating. Witness Jason Mengel is in control. Judge needs to be in control.
I do like that this judge stands, along with others, when the jurors enter and exit the courtroom. And he seems very accommodating to all of the sidebar requests!
For comparison of a judge in control is the recent (AUG/SEP 2019) Ashley McArthur Trial (Victim Taylor Wright).
Example - Judge to Witness: “Please remember if it’s Yes or No just to answer Yes or No. Don’t volunteer extra information.”
I recall that the judge said this to every witness, and the judge would interject if/when witness started to elaborate.
