An accused serial killer fighting a capital case in Marin Superior Court has decided he wants a lawyer after all -- sort of.
Joseph Naso, 78, appeared in court Wednesday with his new "advisory counsel" Michael Marowitz, a veteran San Rafael defense attorney. Naso, who prosecutors say has assets of more than $1 million, had previously refused to hire a lawyer or let the court appoint one.
But he might have changed his mind last month, when prosecutors announced they planned to seek the death penalty against him. Marowitz, as advisory counsel, can help guide Naso but cannot speak on his behalf during the trial.

LOL the judge is mentioning that he might not let the attorney sit at the defense table during the trial. IMO he will, but it is telling that he is threatening not to.
