·2m The defense attorney is now calling his client “Paul” and, when being corrected by the judge on some facts, he shoots back, “well, that’s my best guess.” This is poor lawyering.
29s The judge is pushing back on the defense attorney’s obvious, transparent and offensive mischaracterizations of what happened on 1/6.

1m To put it bluntly, defendant Hodgkins behaved like the lawyer and the lawyer ranted like an out-of-control client. Strange choice by the lawyer.
Defendant Hodgkins made an effective statement to the judge (IMO). However, his attorney is undercutting it by attacking the notion the this was domestic terrorism. He said people calling 1/6 “domestic terrorism” are “gaslighting” country. Not effective lawyering (IMO).
Defendant Hodgkins, “I do not blame any politician or journalist” for my conduct.
