As the first jury found that Trump sexually abused Carroll in the 1990s and then defamed her in 2022, the new trial concerns only how much more — if anything — he’ll be ordered to pay her for some other remarks.
Mate, if the courtroom isn’t the place to be somber, there would be no place to be somber. When one person accuses another of harming them, the parties who will be listening to their pleas and deciding on fates should be absolutely somber.
The atmosphere is intended to further respect for the institution of the court. You can be humorous if it’s done in a respectful manner, though (depends on the judge and situation, too). Some attorneys get away with it. I filled a court with laughter one time while pleading guilty for this total bullshit public weed smoking ticket and the judge was nice to me.
i love how persnickety the courts get about decorum, it’s so pretentious. is being somber and serious the reason you get to put people away for life?
No, it’s because if you don’t try to keep it somber and serious you end up with a shitshow and nothing gets done.
