Defendants Increasingly Don 'Hipster' Glasses; Murder Prosecutor Gets New Look on the Record

via ABA Journal

According to the Post, nonprescription “hipster” glasses have become something of a sensation at Washington, D.C., courthouses. Inmates trade them before hearings or obtain them from family members. Sometimes lawyers give them to their clients.

“They’re masks,” one anonymous prosecutor told the newspaper. “They’re designed to confuse the witness and influence the jury.”

First Amendment right to sport hipster glasses? No, screw that. Down with hipsters!!
