in court, really nice suits. the reason he was allow today wear those nice suits in his trial is because courts allow defendants to wear street clothes when they're on trial. so their appearance in a department of corrections jump suit doesn't end up improperly swaying the jury. you get to look innocent, too, by looking like a guy on the street. in paul manafort's case, that's a guy for an ad in an expensive suit. it's sort of the end of an era. paul manafort will be due back in court earlier this week in anticipation of tomorrow's hearing, manafort's lawyers asked the judge if manafort could please wear a suit. could he please wear street clothes, just like he did during the trial. yesterday, the judge, the federal judge who presided over the trial, ruled no. quote, defendants who are in custody post conviction are as a matter of fact course not entitled to appear for sentencing or any other hearing in street clothing.
