As much as I dislike Baez, I begrudgingly said out loud "that's class." Then I realized why he did it. Not because it was the classy thing to do, but because Judge Perry had specifically said that he would sanction both of them - Ashton for making fun of Baez by laughing in front of the jury, and Baez for calling him out on it ("that laughing man there", pointing at Ashton), which called the jury's attention to something they otherwise might have missed.
Although it seemed classy, it was actually self-serving. And exactly the right thing to do.
