I can't believe people have to actually be told this stuff. I don't know why you'd want to show up and not look/act like a model up-standing citizen.

The interesting part, to me, was the difference in what "upstanding citizen" means, clothing-wise, depending on your position on the case.

I hadn't thought about it much, and I was guilty of assuming more dressed-up was always better.

agreed. I guess a better term would be "believable upstanding citizen"
