My guess is that this is the truthful observation. I really doubt Judge Mudd would tolerate a lot of overt emotion and jurors making noticeable eye contact, etc.
I think Rick and Little River just want to ride the VD Gravy Train. It's much more interesting to make up a visual of how the jurors are reacting than to simply say they are not at all.
Sounds like a while lot of show biz and very little accuracy.
I agree with you, it seemed almost as if the "bug guy" was connecting with the jury.
I watched it, and he would look at the lawyer during the question and then turn his attention to the jury and explain his answer. It appeared that HE was making direct eye contact with the jury.
Even if it is true what Tiny Puddle is saying-- how does she know that the jurors aren't reacting to Dusek's questions (i.e. Dew point vs. temperture--lol)?
