Judge Merchan is going through housekeeping issues: one juror has a toothache, meaning that today will end early, at 12:30 p.m., to accommodate that juror’s doctor’s appointment.
The juror couldn’t handle the tooth.

Yes, I believe recording devices are all not allowed in NY courtrooms, it’s a crying shame. I do see courtroom scenes on the local news from time to time, so there must be some typically convoluted reasoning here somewhere.

Or he refuses to wear appropriate clothing and ends up being the second member of the William Henry Harrison Presidential Club of Tragic Stupidity In Personal Decision Making. Win to Infinity!

Once again, it does not appear that there are any members of Trump’s family present in the courtroom today.

People who said Trump would NEVER see a courtroom unless hell froze over:
Merchan replied that the courtroom has two settings: very hot, or very cold
Seems we are seeing a cold weather front moving through TFG’s personal hell.

Right. If the heat were turned up, just imagine the noise of the snoring along with the stench.
OTOH, he might get his mistrial that way.

One of the things that TSF’s attorneys did over the weekend was tell him to STAND UP when the jury enters the room. He also should have also taken a hammer to TSF’s phone.
