I know a secret!
Allow me to demonstrate.

Jeremy Bentham over 120 years ago to appreciate the fear of secret trials felt by him, his predecessors and contemporaries. Bentham said:
". . . suppose the proceedings to be completely secret, and the court, on the occasion, to consist of no more than a single judge -- that judge will be at once indolent and arbitrary; how corrupt soever his inclination may be, it will find no check, at any rate no tolerably efficient check, to oppose it. Without publicity, all other checks are insufficient: in comparison of publicity, all other checks are of small account. Recordation, appeal, whatever other institutions might present themselves in the character of checks, would be found to operate rather as cloaks than checks; as cloaks in reality, as checks only in appearance.

There are a number of questions that evaluators
might seek to answer when making a competency determination.
Does the Judge understand the charges?
Does he appreciate the possible penalties? Does he appreciate
the adversarial nature of the courtroom? Can he
discuss legal strategy? Can he behave
appropriately in the courtroom? Can he provide meaningful
testimony in his own defense?
The issue of competence
can arise at any point during criminal proceedings,
and may be initiated by the defense, by the prosecutor,
or by the judge.
Suspicion that viewpoint discrimination is afoot is at its zenith when the speech restricted is speech critical of the government," Ridley v. Mass. Bay Transp. Auth., 390 F.3d 65, 86 (1st Cir. 2004)
