"
My captain, when you came to power, you made hollow speeches
", begins the lawyer, to which Moussa Dadis Camara launches angrily: "

To say that a speech is hollow is neither an offensive remark, nor means practically anything .
If you didn't, you can just say
"I didn't".
And you can't say
"I'm not answering anymore",
so you're not going to impose questions, it's not you who sets the rules of the game here, Mr. Camara.
