Yes, that's true and I'm well aware of that fact, but it still doesn't dissuade me from pointing out how annoying it is in some trials, like this one.
It's a good judges' job, however, to keep the proceedings focused and moving along. (which is why he alone decides relevance on every objected point). Nothing at all wrong with a judge that realizes the defense (or prosecution as well) is getting off track and into things that don't mean a hoot to this trial, he has the discretion to tell the idiot lawyer to move along and get back onto relevant facts.
But this judge just seems to sit there letting the guy wander as far off topic as he wants.
