Aaron Hernandez’s lawyer joked about DeflateGate during his murder trial

The judge was not happy.

The AP reports the judge was not pleased:

James Sultan was questioning a state police trooper about tire pressure Thursday when he jokingly asked whether the trooper had ever received “training in football deflation devices.”

On Friday morning, Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh told Sultan that they are conducting serious business, and she does not expect there to be any more jokes. Sultan agreed and expressed regret.

So, what did we learn? DeflateGate jokes are always bad, but they are especially bad DURING A MURDER TRIAL.
