A judge shouldn't be giving the jury any subliminal bias towards or against any witness or person in the court.

If they wanted to applaud the guy before the jury got in, fine. But it's all business once the jury gets seated.

Also, minor quibble, but this is Wisconsin state court, not federal court.
