And he defended himself. Further confirming that he's dangerous AND stupid.

I had not heard about that. That's absolutely wild.

Lawyers have other lawyers represent them in their own cases. That should tell you all you need to know about how wise it is to represent yourself.

Once he realized how badly he was losing he was trying to get pity from the Judge on how overwhelmed he was.

Which she warned him about prevoously, and he yelled about how he wasn't scared and to bring it on.

The DA brought it lol.

Nah, he came out that way from the start.

His opening argument was some SovCit bullshit and, when that was tossed, his next move was to ask for more time for a real legal defense. The judge ignored that saying he had adequate time, but chose to use it on a bad defense.

He just gave his opening today. You’re talking about something else.

He cried all the way through his opening, and needed time after it to compose himself. The main thrust of his opening was, why is everyone being so mean to me?

There’s an old adage on this subject: “He who represents himself has a fool for a client.”

Basically his only defense has been to use SovCit nonsense to bring into question the validating of the case amd process and the jurisdiction of the court, which everyone has largely ignored except to basically tell him to STFU because all his arguments meaningless.

The most whiny and combative Sov Cit nonsense at that.

You’d think that he’d already be as repugnant a human as you could ever imagine because of his horrific actions …but holy shit, this guy’s behaviour is plumbing depths I didn’t even realize existed.

Just a despicable piece of trash, I only hope the families are getting good counselling.

And he thinks his defense rests on him questioning the ethics of the prosecutor.
