"We're not going to have that again," District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble told Jones.
CNN reporter Oliver Darcy reported that Gamble continued: "Every participant in this trial ... is ordered to be silent out of this courtroom, or if there is any member of the jury in sight."
Bridget Spencer, a reporter for local station WAPP, tweeted a video showing Jones interacting with the media during a short break in his trial. Jones railed against the court proceedings as a violation of his First Amendment rights.
"This is a kangaroo court, this is a political action, it's a witch hunt I'll be back later," he continued, before he was ushered away.

(11,744 posts)If he goes silent and accepts the verdict and his penalty, he will be seen as weak. He will get more donations from his brain dead followers if he continues to be belligerent.
The only thing he will understand is if he get such a big penalty, that it drains his finances. It is really just a calculation of his earning potential.
The more stupid and crazy you are, the more this iteration of the right wing will reward you.
