I find it amusing that DM keeps trying to demonstrate his contempt toward Smich, as if Smich is the one who is responsible for where they are now by being a bumbling idiot. In fact it's MS that should be looking at DM contemptuously for being such a moron for not concealing his tattoo when they were on their mission. Who's the dumber guy!
He's a complete lunatic and everything he does is to manipulate somebody for something. No doubt he thinks this is having an effect on the jury, and it likely is, but not the one he thinks! He's probably in his cell right now writing cross examination notes like "Miss Noudga, did Dell frequently share with you his dream that all jury boxes should be carved out of mahogany and fitted with massage chairs? Did he print or write his letters to the Attorney General imploring that juries be paid twice as much for their amazing and dedicated work? Is it or is it not true Miss Noudga that Mr. Millard couldn't finish that time on the way to the hangar because he couldn't stop pounding the steering wheel and ranting about the inadequacy of 90 minute lunches?" He would be hilarious if he wasn't so thoroughly dangerous and destructive.
