This came up in my Youtube feed.  
[Dad and Daughter Destroy Her Abuser](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmjfnyBdfEM&t=71s)  
Jump to [3:10](https://youtu.be/rmjfnyBdfEM?t=190) if you want to get into it.  
I will be upfront that I thought the father was the defendant due to his attire and expression.  
Boy, was I wrong.  
He was eloquent and savage in his takedown of his daughter’s abuser and eloquent and loving in his pride for his daughter.

Hard to tell what’s so remarkable about his appearance, I’m on my phone so a zoom call with at least 7 windows open and all I see are tiny headshots.

He’s wearing a tank top and has a rather disdainful/obstinate(initial impression) or angry/determined/disdainful toward the defendant (revealed).  
What’s surprising is the judge made no mention of him not being dressed for court as judges usually would do. (Even on Zoom, you’re considered to be in court regarding attire and decorum)
