1. Did he arrange a call for that time so he could send a signal to the jury?

Probably not. But it is possible.

Judge, since you are so against media frenzies, perhaps you should not attract them with carelessness like this.

3. I wondered about that, too.

Maybe not a signal to the jury, but a self-serving publicity stunt.

2. No biggie

Judges are famously indulgent when one of the lawyers' phones goes off in the middle of trial.

4. That judge wants a tv show.

So obvious.
