If he tolerates interruptions by Saddam, the judge is a fool. Courts in general do not tolerate interruptions. If the defendant ignores warnings, he may be bound and gagged. This has ample precedent internationally. Or he may be removed from the courtroom. Neither procedure interferes with the fair trial goal.
