I don’t think those are relevant to the damages stage like they might have been to the determination of guilt.
At this point it’s supposed to be more formulaic, like the calculation of damages for someone who has a truck crash into their house.
I realize in practice these impressions aren’t necessarily something a jury can isolate. But I wouldn’t be surprised if hiding them doesn’t really help him. He’s lost a chance to gain any sympathy, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the judge’s instructions are what guide the decision, and the judge sounds done with Jones.
But obviously it remains to be seen.
