Anyway, I just read that style and image obsessed Manafort showed up for a sentencing hearing yesterday in his green jail suit, a wheelchair, and wearing only one shoe.

From what I understand, mobsters used to do shit like that in attempt to get lighter sentences and/or be deemed incapacitated back in the day.
Manafort's lawyer said that Manafort's incarceration has led to serious health issues and he wants to be sentenced as soon as possible, though he didn't specify an ailment or condition. Manafort is no spring chicken, so I guess it could be true (but doubt it).
The judge set Manafort's sentencing date for February 8, 2019.
