From the article:

"And then there was District Attorney Tom Sneddon, who sat not with the other prosecutors during this brutal performance, but on a bench behind them. In full view of the jury, Sneddon sat with his head often in his hands, looking askance at what he's wrought."

Incredible. This is a good piece, but this trial has obviously collapsed.

The trial has not collapsed. It's been very up and down all the way. About two weeks ago, when that son of the maid testified, everyone thought Jackson was going to be convicted. You can't take the pulse of a trial every single second. People have the shortest memories.

Good trial lawyers can muster a pretty good poker face, even when their case is failing miserably. He must be pretty bad in court, or else he is mugging for the jury and media.
