1. Jack Smith looks worn down by what he has seen in his war crimes cases.

In his photos, he looks serious to the point of grim.

4. Think so?

On the one hand, how could such a job not change anyone, right? He's still a father and husband with a home life, so that must be of great comfort. I've seen photos of him smiling. He's got a kind face.

He deals with crimes against humanity, mass murderers, because the nation states' judicial systems are, for whatever reasons, not able to adjudicate their crimes and maintain stability. Me, I think he's intense and tough looking as one must be when confronting evil.

2. Whatever
