   Defendants also complain that the trial court repeatedly referred to the witness as “Professor,” and accuse
the trial court of abdicating its duty to control the admission of evidence. We doubt we have reached the
point where simple courtesy and civility no longer have a place in our courtrooms. Henry Ordower is a
professor of law at St. Louis University School of Law, and has been so for over thirty years. The trial
court similarly referred to defendants’ witnesses by their professional titles. We particularly note that the
trial court referred to defense witness Benjamin Akande by the title “Doctor,” in accord with that witness’s
doctorate degree. We reject this overstated complaint.
