Many of the accused have opted to testify, but Modack believes he has not been given enough time to consult with his lawyer, Advocate Bashier Sibda.  

Judge Robert Henney told Modack that Sibda would have to make an application for him to ask further questions.  

"Yes, your lordship, sorry to bother, I still have more instructions," Modack said.

"Mister Modack, sit down,” Henney replied.

"I'm also being denied my right to a fair trial,” claimed Modack.
