Oliver also showed a clip of the judge telling Jones he wasn’t allowed to chew gum or eat food in court after she saw him chewing on something. Jones claimed he had had a tooth pulled and was chewing on gauze. He repeatedly asked if she wanted to see the gauze as she insisted to him that she had no interest: “I don’t want to see the inside of your mouth.”
But the more “pathetic” thing, he said, was when cameras caught Jones later that day turning away from the judge and clearly putting something in his mouth. This was made all the more “despicable,” Oliver added, since the parents of one of the children killed in the Sandy Hook tragedy were present in the courtroom.
