"God's Warriors" Take Government Appointed Attorneys

Oh, the irony! Way to stand up for what you believe in guys! LOL!

Its a funny headline, but I question whether it is accurate. In my experience with people who try to represent themselves as their own attorneys, the judges often force them to have legal backup from court-appointed attorneys because it reduces the chance of a mistrial due to the lack of procedural knowledge.

Even the nutjobs like that Salvo guy and the other guy who shot up all those people on the commuter rail in Long Island had court appointed legal counsel while they acted as their own attorneys.


They often try to fire them but the courts tend to almost insist that you have an attorney if you represent yourself because otherwise it is really easy to claim that you didn't get a fair trial since you didn't have "good representation."

Yes yes, I know that is really stupid, but it is absolutely why they always try to have a legal adviser.
