IMO Brennan’s misuse of the hoodie was likely inadvertent. It would be utterly crass to expect to get away with it if he knew how the holes were made. He could not hope to fool the defence. It would (maybe will) be regarded as serious professional misconduct.

OTOH it’s remarkable the defence did not object DURING the cross. Don’t they know by now where & to what extent the hoodie was damaged? It should be seared into their brains! Why weren’t they instantly on their feet?

Finally, the judge made far too little of it & her perfunctory & non self-explanatory instruction to the jury will have occasioned confusion to them & relief to Brennan.
