A booking photo normally reflects gravity, bewilderment or even surprise. That is not the case with some of the former president’s co-defendants.
From the New York Times:

I think there are a few possibilities:
-
Because they're fucking insane.
-
Because they're now cooperating for a plea deal.
-
Because the photographer said, "Smile for the little birdie!!!" and they still had a Twitter logo next to the camera instead of an X because they thought that meant the mugshot wouldn't end up on the 'net.
Maybe I should read the article..
Edit: oops, it's "defiance" I guess. Maybe we can get another mugshot after their sentencing to see if they're still smiling In defiance.

I guess that's because they don't want people to think they are in trouble. If you ignore the sheriff badge this could be a regular picture, and some voters probably can't tell the difference
White collar criminals often are smiling in their mug shots - this is a pretty vapid opinion piece IMO that's grasping at straws to make a headline.
I hate Trump and Co but this bullshit "news" is just so tiring and delegitimizes news
Legitimate news still exists in this country?! Huh, news to me...
Because they're gonna be on the news. "Look ma, I'm on tv!"
