A plant is possible, but you are forgetting one thing... It was Brittany getting destroyed on the stand at the time that happened with her lies getting exposed one after the other. Thus, the tears start and not coping ( she was fine while the lies were not being exposed ) - something our justice system still allows for woman but not for men by the way to hold any sway.
The plant favoured Brittany rather than Bruce if such occurred. Getting the exposure of lies stopped certainly helped one party.
