In my most confident first trial voice I announced that we were not because the marshals had not yet brought in my client. Not missing a beat, he calmly called us up to sidebar and suggested that it might not be a good idea to tell the jury that my client was in custody. No temper tantrum, no yelling. He even offered to bring in a new venire. If only they were all like him. Can we clone him?
