I don't believe this is an issue that would be harmless error. She needs to tread carefully--almost at the finish line, take the time and extra day to make the record.

I'd argue that the zoom call is equivalent to him being in front of the jury and this is all moot. God knows trials still went on during covid via zoom.

She has already done so many many times. She has been overly careful.

I think him saying "this has never been done" put a fear into her.

I think you're right. She was standing firm on it until he said that. She's just scared, for no reason. She has consistently given him the benefit of the doubt and he only continues acting like he is because there is no punishment. The only possible punishment is holding him in contempt and if she does that he's entitled to a hearing on the contempt charge so it just delays his inevitable convictions. It's win-win for him.

Yes, but verbal requests to come back to the courtroom and promises to abide by decorum could result in appealable error

Yup.Congress votes on all kinds of bills while not in actual attendance of a session.

His argument would be everyone else is in the courtroom except him and it is prejudicial to him to have the jury see him out of the courtroom and also being muted. I don't think anything will be prejudicial enough to affect the outcome.

To you. I think she's doing this to leave as little ammo for any type of appeal later. It's best to err on the side of caution with this one. Just because this a-hole doesn't have a lawyer now doesn't mean one that watched this thing play out might not try to make a name for themselves later.

He still hasn't promised to abide by decorum.

That's obvious. I think she has covered herself well and done more than was necessary. His behavior has been outrageous and disruptive to say the least.

I agree, but that doesn't mean there isn't some stupid legalese that exists that could cause trouble.

He has yet to agree to abide by decorum and what she described today.

It only takes one screwup. An appellate judge could say that her requiring him to write a pledge was improper.

Playing Devils Advocate, she got through 41 pages with him waving his hands numerous times throughout and she ignored...she knows while it will take 15 minutes of nonsense, she can then kick him out for the remainder of instructions while ignoring him again.

Some judge tossing this conviction would seem to me (not a lawyer) to create a ridiculously dangerous precedent for defendants who have no real chance of really benefiting from legal counsel
