After all, imagine yourself having been selected for jury service; you've just heard what sort of trial you are going to sit in judgement on & you're waiting for the alleged sex-crazed monster to appear in the dock, handcuffed to a burly prison guard.
Instead of this, a well-dressed, well groomed, young/middle-aged/older* man strides confidently and unhesitantly up the stairs, pauses momentarily, glances round the courtroom, nods to his legal team, and sits down, head up with an interested, alert expression.
Straight away, the jury members are thinking this could be me/my neighbour/son/partner/brother/father/etc*; and all this before they've heard a word of evidence.
