IMO JS has lost a lot of weight over the course of his taking the case - four years? I think those ill fitting suits are from his heavier days. The jackets hang off of him. He is very thin now - my Mom would say my God he's all bones. He is actually quite tall also - I always thought he was much shorter. Maybe the blue suit was a new one.
BBM above - I forgot to mention - in court I saw MT's father with earbuds in, watching the trial on his phone while sitting in the live trial. I am not sure as I was only there that day, but I heard someone say he does that everyday. For a bit I was sitting closely behind him and verified he was actually not watching something else. I was puzzled by this. There is an adjacent courtroom/ also used for overflow where you can go in to watch the live feed if you want to use your phone, tweet etc. Marissa Alter was in there. MT's Dad could easily go in there and watch - but I guess then his presence would not be felt in the court room supporting the daughter. It dawned on me he is the one watching to see how this is all being presented and how his daughter is being photographed. ( There are two photographers in the courtroom - a still photographer who roams around and then a contract worker who is filming for the Law and Order channel - and that is the main feed the other networks are using)
So when MT gave the death stare to the nanny while the nanny was exiting the court for instance - he would have caught that right along with the rest of us. It was mentioned on every platform I frequent so he may have seen all the chatter too. So imo, yesI totally agree they are monitoring everything media which is surprising since the content of MT's twitter is so ill advised IMO.
The family imo is very interested in perception/optics/PR. The day I was there they arrived outside the court room early and greeted everyone - mostly spectators - waiting outside the courtroom ( the doors open at ten)- it was very
cordial and intentional.
