His son was there, Justin, and his mom, Janice, was there as well. But otherwise, there weren't many supporters. He looked a little more serious this time, maybe just kind of recognizing that this trial was It's happening. It's coming up in just a few weeks now. And maybe the sort of reality of all that kind of hit him.
