I mean, it sounds like he was trying help intimidate already fidgety witnesses. That's not just wasting the court's time.

  What? I don't have context for what else has occurred, but it sounds like the lawyer in this case was objecting to the bond that the judge put on his client?

    Person A was on trial for (attempted?) murder. Person B posts to InstaFaceGram that Person A will be free soon. Person B then shows up to court and starts live-streaming the court proceedings, included of witnesses, to a sketch-sounding Facebook group. Person B then lies to judge about what he was doing and so the judge throws him in jail for 6 months for contempt. The probable witness tampering probably had something to do with the harsh contempt punishment.
