Going into court on a murder charge with no lawyer is crazy, but maybe that's what this guy is going for as an out.....

I can top that. How about a defendant representing himself on a capital murder where the death penalty is on the table. I had the misfortune of watching this unfold and to say it was a catastrophe is being generous.

Anytime videos like these surface I quickly determine if they are exploitive of someone with mental health issues. If they are, I turn them off.

Having said that, this one I watched, it was clearly someone who suffers from poor mental health, possibly schitzo.

If you watch enough of these criminal trials, you realize that there is no way these judges, prosecutors and lawyers don't carry around loaded weapons at all times.
