riveted

Like everyone, I was riveted and horrified while watching the live coverage from the Capitol on January 6, and absolutely felt like this was America’s Reichstag moment.

The jurors — a diverse cross-section of Manhattan residents and professional backgrounds — often appeared riveted by testimony in the trial, including from Cohen and Daniels.

“I didn’t know his name, but I was riveted by the power of the song’s message of social outrage and to see Dylan reporting like a journalist through his music and lyrics.”

Daniels’ sometimes graphic testimony over two days riveted jurors and drew upset from defense attorneys who decried it on Thursday as prejudicial and overly gratuitous.

He’d walk through classrooms, noticing that virtually every student was riveted on their handheld screen, oblivious to the teacher at the front of the room.
