Excited to be interrogated in court (6-2)

I believe the answer is:

pumped-up

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'excited' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'interrogated in court' is the wordplay.
'interrogated' becomes 'pumped' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'in court' becomes 'up' (up before a judge).
'pumped'+'up'='PUMPED-UP'

'to be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
