Were you in the public gallery the other day?
Not quite in those words, but I've had similar.
The other day, I got:
"Miss Jenniessurname, sit down. I cannot imagine anything useful is going to come out of your mouth."
Or, I say "Your Honour, can I interject here?"
To which I got "I should imagine so, Miss Jenniessurname, you always do."
It's just the rough and tumble of the job. It's an adversarial system and I feel very strongly the responsibility of being the only person the defendant has. So you have to be brave and tenacious sometimes.
It's all in good humour though. Well, mostly.
