I remember taking Criminal Law class in 2014 and the teacher used George Hugely as an example of this tactic. Hugely was the lacrosse bro that rage murdered his ex-girlfriend at UVA in like 2012. Anyways, Hugely is a legit D1 athlete at a Power 5 school, but his lawyers dressed him up for court in a comically oversized jacket and khakis and gave him a bob haircut so that he'd look like a junior high schoolboy wearing adult clothing for the first time.
Again, this person murdered his ex-girlfriend by smashing her head against a wall until she died, and had 2 priors, for one of which he had to be tasered to be subdued.
