"Oscar Wilde observed, that “Questions are never indiscreet. Answers sometimes are.” It is, though, difficult to furnish discreet answers to some of the questions asked by judges. “Who is the idiot who did that?” snapped Justice Mildren in an Australian court in 2004, inquiring about bail granted to a serial burglar who’d gone straight out to commit more crime.
