In court this week, defense attorney Norman Steiner requested the contraption be removed because he said it makes his client look guilty. He also said Poulos denies ever spitting on his previous lawyers, according to the New York Post.
“I meet with him all the time. I sit a foot across from him. I have no fear of him. I don’t think he’s ever going to spit on me,” Steiner told the Post, which reported the attorney Poulos spat on in 2014 attended the retrial.
