匿名法官接受訪問

//“[Tong] didn’t do much of anything—he didn’t commit murder or arson,” the judge said wryly. “He is the most benevolent terrorist in the world.”//
（佢既無殺人，亦無縱火，無做啲咩嘢，（如果係恐怖份子嘅話），佢應該係世上最善良嘅恐怖份子。）

至於刑事案件响高等法院無陪審團之下審訊，呢位法官覺得，如果政府咁安排嘅目的要保護陪審的話，「總有其他方法比徹底破壞整個制度好」。

//If the government wanted to protect jurors, the judge said, “There must be some other way apart from abolishing the whole system.”//

關於專家證人政治解釋口號嘅用處，匿名法官認為專家證嘅作用係幫助法庭理解法律以外嘅事，但解釋政治口號嘅話就未必有效用（"flawed tool"），呢啲正正就需要陪審團以普通人嘅「常識」去理解（“common-sense approach”），相反，法官通常會用法律角度去思考。

對於香港司法制度嘅未來，法官覺得可能越黎越接近新加坡，即係「商業法係可以嘅，但當牽涉刑事或人權就大有問題。」

“We might become more like Singapore. The business law is fine, but there’s a big problem in criminal law and human rights.”

最後，佢就用心臟病做比喻，

“It’s a sign of danger. If it continues to develop, it will lead to cardiac arrest. But is it fair to say a person is worthless just because of a heart condition? No, the body is still there to compensate.”

「（有心臟病）係危險嘅徵兆，如果繼續發展落去，終會心臟停頓。但，係咪可以話有心臟病就等如廢呢？未必嘅，因為身體其他部份未死，仍然可以支持住。）
