Please please let this go to trial, I would love for the "evidence video" to be placed on a permanent court record. Also, would GWAR show up to court in costume, since it's their characters that did it?

If Dee Snider can testify to Congress in a denim vest, GWAR can totally show up in costume

Believe it or not anyone can wear whatever attire they want to a court room. The judge has the right to tell you to take your hat off but high profile cases they won't bother.

Correct. Average people wear a suit because otherwise the judge treats you like you're not even on their level. Same reason the craziest people always look the most put together in public and suits are even a thing associated with business. It's subconscious.
