Worth reading. What sets the defendant off is that he has ineffective counsel. There are some initial claims about his court appointed lawyer soliciting sex that are probably dubious, but it also looks like the attorney has failed to obtain or provide some critical materials to the defendant, so the defendant is attempting to fire his lawyer. The judge won’t look at ineffective counsel and says his only option is this (shitty?) lawyer or to represent himself. He asks the judge if he reps himself, won’t he be more likely to be convicted and the judge says that’s probably true. It goes from there… Guessing he did the crime though (jail cell murder narrows the possibilities of who did).
