I wanted to address something that was said about how the various participants in this trial are dressed. (Full disclosure; I am a theatrical costume designer and costume historian.) Seth, Kat, and Roberta all dress as if this trial is an annoyance and an interruption to their lives. IMO they have no concept of what is at stake, no respect for the authority of the court, and no acknowledgement that a person died.
I remember reading that Kat probably had to pull garments from options provided at the prison. She's wearing *sweats* for goodness sake. And for RG to show up two days in a row in the same ratty sweater is simply unimaginable. The recovering addict was better dressed than all of them, and demonstrated the most awareness of what was actually happening. (And was probably the most truthful.)
SM himself having the audacity to show up in his shirt sleeves is just tossing it up in the face of the court. His psychopathic MI is hanging out there for all to see, IMO. He is an incomplete person who can't even finish dressing himself for the most important moment of his life, (not to mention his victim, God love her.)
I could go on and on about alternative lifestyles and counterculture tribes and sexual underground but I'll spare you.
