One thing that hurt him in court was his appearance. Amber looked like a nice sane young lady whereas Johnny looked like he was high or drunk which he probably was. He also dresses like a freak. Appearance matters.
True story. There was a County Precinct Judge in my hometown that once the court room was filled with people that had shown up for minor traffic tickets and such, he would ask the entire room to stand and let the people who dressed "poorly" get in line and dismiss their tickets first, no questions asked.
I remember he once said that if you look like you can afford a traffic ticket, you're paying for it.
Seen him do it personally once.
I guess sometimes dressing nice sends the wrong message.
