In my over 20 years practicing criminal law, I have never observed a defendant refuse to stand and face the jury. Any competent lawyer would tell their client that his fate is in the jury’s hands and they will watch everything he does. Trump’s disrespect for the jury is unwise.

@renato_mariotti It fits. Trump has zero respect for the law. Let the jurors see this.
@renato_mariotti @KlasfeldReports His legal team is not exercising any control over their sole client. They are letting him do whatever he wants. They want to keep their cash cow. I am okay with this up to a point as long as Trump continues to harm himself.
@renato_mariotti I wouldn’t stand either. This is a sham. He’s winning on appeal clowns.
@renato_mariotti Jury has a duty to deliberate on the facts of the case. If they wish to debase themselves for petty reasons, that's on them. This case gets flipped on appeal anyways.
@renato_mariotti Kinda lends weight to the allegations that he can’t get a fair trial.
@renato_mariotti They can’t even find any unbiased jurors. What are you on about?
@renato_mariotti 25 years here Renato and it's a fatal error. If there's a close call on the evidence, one of the 12 will remind the others about Trump's disdain for them and their service. Trump is a petulant child and his attorneys are clearly weak.
@renato_mariotti Maybe he was sleeping.
