I may believe that if the bracelet hadn't been tucked inside a pair of socks - an obvious attempt to hide it and circumvent the rules. If he just wasn't aware, then he probably would have just tried to bring it in to the jail with him the last time he went to see her. I think he was deliberately trying to "one up" the jail staff. You know they've been soooo MEAN to him about hugging Casey, and not letting him bring his laptop in. This just REEKS of him trying - and of course, failing - to get one over on them. Like they wouldn't have noticed her wearing it in court anyway?? He complains about the circus atmosphere, then I say he needs to take the clown suit off. IMO.
