The Supreme Court building in Washington, the scene of the trial.
Inside the courtroom, there was none of the intense confrontation that the media and public waiting outside might have imagined. At this moment, the representatives of the friends of the court seated in the gallery were like statues carved in stone, expressionlessly looking towards the judges on the bench.
The scenes of lawyers seen on TV spitting rhetoric, impassioned speeches, and judges constantly banging their gavels for silence are completely absent in the Supreme Court.
The legal teams on both sides were very rational, and their emotions always remained calm. Often without waiting for the judge to speak, a mere gesture was enough for the lawyers to understand the judge's intent, whether to immediately cease questioning a witness or adjust their questions as requested by the judge to inquire about issues more closely related to the case at hand.
