From what I've been told, that's typically how it's done in court. Lawyers point weapons at juries all the time. It's part of the theatrics. You think the judge or bailiff would ever let ammo near a weapon that is in evidence?
WOW... just WOW...
Please please do not type another word... EVER
Okay F. Lee Bailey. Whatever you say. Isn't the bailiff in charge of courtroom safety and security? Why do you think he didn't utter a peep when Binger pulled his little stunt? Because Binger cleared it with him first. He knew it was going to happen. The incompetent defense attorney should have done it first with Grossekunt's handgun and then asked the jury, "are you telling me Kyle has to wait for Grossekunt to pull the trigger before he has a right of self-defense?" with the handgun pointing at the jury.
