“The courtroom was packed but shortly after the proceedings started, what did the governor’s lawyers do that surprised most people?”

The Governor's attorneys request a dismissal of the case, which is refused. The attorneys then ask to be excused from the courtroom, reading a surprising statement that says the Governor will not concede. The attorneys also note that the Governor is of the opinion that no one has the right to interfere with his judgment. After the Governor's attorneys exit the courtroom, only two of the students are called on to testify.
