Here’s how the whole “coming out of court” would go for your typical FLDS witness or big player lawyer…
At this first hearing we were allowed on the courthouse steps, so that’s the first shot. Most everyone else is waiting at the bottom of the steps, filming you as you walk down.
Then there’s kind of a mad scramble as the cameras try to stay ahead of you:
Some cameras leapfrog you.
If you’re lucky you’ve got a big guy on your legal team who walks in front of you as a human shield.
About half the cameras stop as you leave the courthouse property for the parking lot.
But a few cameras stay with you all the way to your car.
Soon they run back to the steps for the next subject and it starts again.

I don’t wear a lot of suits but I think that first lawyer is poorly dressed. A pin-stripe suit with a srtiped shirt and a striped tie? I don’t think that’s right.
