Aimee,
I don't know what you mean by intervention tactics.
As a side note, the prosecutor told the judge at the beginning of the
trial that he was planning to call Bell's parents as witnesses against
their son. This has the effect of exclusing them from the courtroom,
under rules of criminal procedure.[*] It also violates internal DOJ
guidelines, and helps to unnerve the defendant.
The prosecutor, Robb London, never did end up calling the parents as
witnesses against their son. So they weren't allowed in the courtroom
until the end of the trial.

[*] Except for Jeff Gordon, of course, the investigator-stalkee-chief witness,
who was not excluded from the courtroom. Some rules are more equal than others.
