Because I was identified before getting in and I was the only person not involved in the trial there.

I would be in serious trouble.

That laptop's disk went kaput so eventually I lost it (this might have been 6 years ago).

I did come back but never heard anything that outrageous.

When the judge says "stop recording" my heart sank because I realized that recordings were not an accurate description of what happened there.

Recently I read about a case where a judge convicted a witness, just like that.

Eventually it was overturned but now that judge is at the European Court of Human Rights.

Convicting the witness without an extra trial is far more serious and nothing came out of it...

Edit: Court name was wrong.

That can only mean it was Helena Jäderblom. There is only one judge from each country :-) but that's dreadful!
