The attorney who will represent Nick Reiner is Alan Jackson - I notice when he speaks - in "public-speaking" mode, to an audience - he is similar to Princess Diana: he says a phrase, then pauses, then says the next phrase. ... The whole thing is punctuated by pauses which are not really necessary.
But -- it's a speaking style.
Princess Diana worked with a speaking coach for a bit. She wanted to improve her speech-making ability. After working with the coach, she started using the pauses between phrases.

Listening to documentaries about the Nicole Brown Simpson / Ron Goldman murders, I think of Howard Cosell a couple of times. A sports announcer, he would say, "The Juice is loose!" when O.J. Simpson would run, in football games during the 1960s and '70s.
He liked O.J.
I wondered, 'Did Howard Cosell live long enough to know about the murders at South Bundy Drive?'
Yes, Google says Cosell died in 1995, so he would have been aware.

When people comment on the Rob Reiner murders, several people have said "At least his dad didn't live to see this."
(His dad was Carl Reiner, comedy writer and creator of The Dick Van Dyke Show. He lived to be 98 - was still writing books and typing away on Twitter....)

In a podcast about the 1994 Simpson murders, a limo driver says he drove many "famous and well known people."
The word "famous" and the phrase "well known" mean the same thing, so it's redundant, but I'm not making fun of the guy for saying that. Everyone can misspeak a little bit, sometimes - and "famous and well known people" is actually kind of a nice, slightly ironic phrase....
