Judge: Let me intervene. There will be time for this.

Judge: I only want to know—are you Nicolás Maduro Moros?

Maduro: Yes.

Judge: Have you been served the indictment?

Defense lawyer: We waive the public reading.

Maduro: I have it in my hands for the first time. I prefer to read it personally.

Maduro: I did not know of these rights until now.

Judge: How do you plead?

Maduro: I am innocent. I am a decent man. I am President—
