Someone in my family was in a VERY similar, if not the same situation. His lawyer told hjs parents to get all of his family to go to the court for all his hearings as support. He said the more people there were supporting him in the court room the better. He was conviced and jailed, it was heartbreaking but at the same time it was good for him to have all of his family there for him.
I didn't agree with what he had done and knew he was guilty but I went because he was my cousin and regardless of what he had done I love him dearly. I'm glad I went, we all got time to give him a hug before they took him away.
I think you should be there for him regardless of whether you think he's right or wrong. He is family and would appreciate the support.
