Mark Bezy's testimony about imprisonment and SAMs, as characterized and disputed by counsel

On Day 60, counsel disputed whether Bezy's cross-examination introduced incarceration costs and misleading suggestions that restrictive confinement could end. The court treated the cost questioning as explaining step-down incentives rather than urging a sentencing choice based on cost, criticized the examination's oppositional tone and denied the mistrial motion.

About

The defense argued that cross-examination created a false impression about future confinement and undermined its sentencing presentation; the prosecution maintained that the defense's account of permanent restrictions invited questions about step-down and review.
