I think the judge is scared that the Persecutor has blown the case. It’s like a ref trying to throw a game but the receivers keep dropping the ball. She can only offer so much help.
Every day, she gets more desperate to help the Persecution. I predict a meltdown before it is over.
Actually, she has had several mini meltdowns, today was a big one, “end of discussion”. They have all been directed at the defense.
