[Music] welcome to facts or frauds what you are witnessing is real the participants are not actors people versus B number 23 5256 on Beal of the people is present here in the courtroom today this was originally set as a sentencing hearing Mr I got a report from probation department indicating that you participate processs your honor I'm here by special appearance not a general and I reserve all my rights and explicit reservation with without prejudice I Paul a sentinal moral being have examined the path of my feet on and have concluded that I have Dishonored many people including but not limited to the people the police officers the city the C the county and to determine that I have made many mistakes and I'm sorry for I'm sorry for my sins and therefore I Repent now I have become aware of other sins I have may I may have committed and I'll repent immediately um to my attorney it is has come to my attention that you have never informed me of my choice of Law and to make matters worse you chose to an inferior form to have me tried under you are either incompetent or PO with the prosecutor either way you have provided me with an effective assistance of or ineffective assistance of councel which has caused me great harm you are fire that's what I have to say Okay um uh do you intend to hire another attorney are you appointed I was appointed how are you going to proceed in terms of council Mr I'm GNA myself okay um all right you understand that you have the right to have an attorney I do and you understand that if you can't afford an attorney you have the right to have one appointed for you have public expense and in fact that's what we've been operating under up till now I got legal council but um anyways I'm I'll accept what you am okay so you understand that you do have the right to have an appointed attorney if you can't afford one I had him and he has done me no good from the beginning so um at this point I'll just um I'll take whatever you got to give me yeah I'm just asking whether you understand that you have that right and in spite of that you're asking the court to allow you to represent yourself today yes okay um have you ever represented yourself in court before um sir I'm just I'm here as a special appearance only and that's yeah that doesn't have any legal significance to me at all I understand my question is whether you've ever represented yourself before no okay um do you have any legal training or education no just have the people that um help get through that okay and so you understand that there are uh not having represented yourself not having any legal training or experience that there are risks involved in representing yourself and that there are matters of procedure and substa of law that you may not be aware of and therefore there may be arguments that you could raise in your your own defense um that might give you an improved outcome in your case and that without that legal training and experience you may not know what those are you may have a worse outcome than if you had an attorney I'll take what it's given to me in spite of those risks is it still your wish to represent yourself take what it's given to me that's not my question my question is do you still want to represent yourself knowing those risks sir I just um I'll accept any offer and return your offer to you you know for your closure and settlement of any account I may have okay again my question is in spite of the risk of representing yourself are you still asking to represent yourself yes so at this point the court uh with Mr gery will discharge you the court finds that uh your request to represent yourself is knowing and voluntary and unequivocal um and so at this point the Court's going to allow you to represent yourself going forward um do you have anything to say with regard to your refusal to participate in the Pres sentence interview process you want to give me I'll okay so that's something that you're required to do part of the Court's order U because you declined to do that the court is going to revoke your bond the court is going to order that you be remanded to the Crawford County Jail I'm going to request the provation officer to make another attempt uh to go through the prenten interview process with you uh if you continue to decline then we'll just go forward with sentencing without having that information before the court and Mr G just Mr Co refuses to participate indicate that for report and then prepare the Pres sentence report best of your ability without that information yes sir I did an acceptance dated and signed the top of it and um that's all I'm doing okay well we'll give it another try anyway and uh you're going to do what you're going to do but for today's purposes the Court's going to revoke your bond and REM you to the jail the court will set this for a sentencing hearing at its next available date so if you can go with the officers please okay um going hand this over to my Witnesses okay right there just C can that okay oh the headphones okay you don't need those oh [Music] okay okay you can't fix stupid and thanks for hanging out with
