B
Mr. Sawicki is not familiar with courtroom procedures.
C
Petrocelli does not believe what Mr. Sawicki says.
D
Mr. Sawicki knows that Mr. Harmon's neighborhood is not safe.

Explanation

The stage direction says Mr. Sawicki starts to leave the stand after O’Brien says, “Nothing further,” but the judge holds him up. This suggests Sawicki misunderstands what happens next in court: another lawyer, Petrocelli, still has questions for him. Therefore, the best choice is that Mr. Sawicki is not familiar with courtroom procedures.
