Because they are presumed innocent for the crime they are being tried of. For sentencing, I can see cuffing them. We don't want to be like Russia and put people in cages to make them look guilty right off the bat.When I see stuff like this, I ask myself why anyone either accused of a very serious crime or who has a history of violent crimes is not at least handcuffed (for both legs and wrists) for the duration of the whole trial.
Speaking of that specific guy, the next time he ends up in a courtroom should see him either in a cage or in a plexiglass box, surrounded by bailiffs.
