[07:33] DaemonFC I just need to bring myself, look presentable, and answer the judge "Yes, sir." and "No, sir.". [07:33] DaemonFC The less you say in court, usually the better off you are. [07:33] DaemonFC When you get going, it's easy to lose track of every single word you're saying, go off into a tangent, make the judge angry, and undermine yourself. [07:34] DaemonFC They're not there to listen to you (the criminal) get long-winded with them and make excuses for yourself.

[07:40] DaemonFC And his batting average in court (divorce, civil, etc.) has been terrible. [07:41] DaemonFC Because he goes in there, offends the judge, and gets smacked down hard. [07:41] DaemonFC He probably is smarter than the judge. [07:41] DaemonFC But nobody likes a smartass, and that judge has the power to fuck with you in ways that you can only imagine if you piss him off, and so it doesn't really matter how smart he is or isn't.
