Sounds hilariously awkward, must have felt like an eternity
- laweijfmvo 3y agoWhy was this relevant/important? Is SBF's guilt based on the testimony of a witness that "saw" him at the scene of the crime or something?

- jlmorton 3y agoI haven't seen any color added to this observation - was she making a joke about SBF's haircut?
- chunkymilk 3y agoThe "Judging Sam" podcast had some color on this from a reporter who was there. It felt to them like she was a bit overwhelmed at being walked into a packed courtroom with everyone staring at her then being asked to point out a guy who's appearance had changed a lot recently (haircut and suit/tie). Personally, I can't imagine being very composed in that situation at that age.
- bigmattystyles 3y agoI thought she was 30
- true_religion 3y agoWhen you say “at that age”, it makes me curious… do you know that she is 29?
- peferron 3y agoThe first time I read about this in the news it was 10 seconds, the second time it was 30, and now it's a minute.
- isk517 3y agoSome say she is still scanning the court room to this very day.
