So, he’s not only down to one arm but is about to have his colon resized by his new cell mate.

They have a self defense expert; that is probably all they need.

I watch a lot of trials….the last 30 minutes by the defense was probably my allllll time favorite. Not even close actually. Just the stuff they got Gaige to admit, the order and calmness by the defense, the perjuries, the destruction of a civil case, the tears of joy from the defendant, and…..the prosecution weeping into their covered eyes

ETA: and watching it with YouTube crew commentating on it

I was about to ask this. I think I would rather this prosecutorial circus front and center in the jury's minds. I don't see how defense witnesses could add anything more than what the defense has already established in cross examination.

Stack up enough counts of perjury, weapons charges, etc, and it likely winds up with one or more felonies.

Even minimum security isn’t a picnic. Not like he can beat someone up the first day so it looks like he will be someone’s bitch. And he won’t be able to get them with a handy either.
