Because you have not ever watched a trial where the lawyers had less than a week to prepare. All of this evidentiary shit is worked out 30 days pre-trial. But we aren't having a normal trial. Still, I would agree that there is an appearance of idiocy and incompetence here. Even if it is rationally explained away. Hopefully it does not affect the weight the judge gives the evidence.
