    Contempt of court that arises during a trial has zero effect on the outcome. A judge can throw you in jail for violating decorum, much less violating an order.

      Yeah id love to see the shocked Pikachu face on the attorney who told him he wouldn’t sit in jail at all as the bailiffs haul Trump’s ass out of court.
