How so? It's an absurd situation that you're more likely to hear told in a stand up comedy routine than a court room. If I were in there I'd probably chuckle too
I agree, and it frankly is kind of funny, but jury trials are all about perception. He's trying to prove that he was the victim of abuse and that his career was damaged by her defamation of his character. He already slipped up the other day by saying he wouldn't take a job doing PotC 6 even if Disney offered it to him: that gave her lawyers ammo to say "Well he's the one turning down jobs: How is that her fault?"
If the jury sees him laughing about the abuse he suffered, even something this trivial, then they're less likely to take it seriously. That shouldn't be the case, but it is.
I mean, it humanizes him a lot to show he can even chuckle at what an insane situation he was led into because of her insane actions. Shows he's laid back and looks back at the absurdity of not just the situation but he's saying it on the stand in a televised trial. Also shows further what a nutbar she is.
He's not doing himself any favors by laughing at that where the jury can see him.
Just saying.
