I think that rather than let this arrogant prick try to run the trial, the judge should slap irons on him and bodily drag his filthy ass to court and remind him that him and his cronies are no longer in charge. If I was a defendant in criminal court here and behaved that way, I'd be thrown in the slammer for contempt.
