Judge Merchan is ANGRY: MERCHAN ASKS FOR THE JURY TO STEP OUT [View all]

Judge Merchan is ANGRY:

MERCHAN ASKS FOR THE JURY TO STEP OUT

MERCHAN: “I’d like to discuss proper decorum in my courtroom”
MERCHAN: “If you don’t like my ruling, you don’t say ‘Jeez’”
MERCHAN: You don’t say “strike it” because I’m the only one who can strike it.
MERCHAN: “You don’t give me side eye and you don’t roll your eyes”
COSTELLO: I understand.
