"This is actually referred to in the Bible. Saint Paul, when he was put on trial . . . in . . . I think its Caesarea well, it was over in Palestine uh, in Israel he was . . . accused of some activity. And he was a Roman citizen, which is not common, but he happened to have been a Roman citizen. So, he had rights that we share now as Americans. Uh, and he when they tried to put him on trial with evidence from which was being repeated by somebody who wasnt there and under oath he said, where are the witnesses against me? I am a Roman, and I have a right to confront my accusers. They should be here. And so that led to, actually, his voyage to Rome to have his case heard before the Emperor. Um, so its an ancient rule; its strictly, strictly enforced in the criminal courts for very obvious reasons."

I have watched some of it and the judge seems out of control. Not calm and reasonable.
