This defendant is very unusual and quiet. Seems like he is already dead inside. You have been around some interesting characters in your defense work, what is your "read" on his presence in the courtroom?
What stands out to me is how he isn't reactive to the process. People who are viewing the process with contempt, because they don't trust it or because they expect it to give them a bad outcome, usually express that at least a little bit in facial expressions or physical reactions to what is said. And people who know they're guilty but want to fight accountability usually make more of a show about how they're the real victims of an unfair system. I'm not getting any of that from Bryan, he's treating his team and the process with respect even when it doesn't go his way.
