""I do strenuously object because I find it difficult to believe that a defendant would have to fight so hard to defend his constitutional rights in the United States," Wesson told Putnam. He later added: "What I basically wanted to say was that my strategy was to keep on with my constitutional rights."
Wesson also disagreed with Jones' contention that there isn't enough time to get ready for a June trial: "I think they do have adequate time to prepare."
Wesson said his attorneys have ignored his requests to file motions. He did not explain what motions he asked for but said he should not face trial "without these motions in play."
Wesson said he is concerned that evidence has been altered or tampered with. There also is a conflict of interest "regarding the prosecution," he said.
Wesson did not elaborate on his concerns, and outside the courtroom Jones said he couldn't comment, citing attorney-client privilege.
In his motion requesting a delay, Jones said he's received test results that show Wesson did not have gunshot residue on his hands when he was arrested in March.

Hunt said it won't hurt the district attorney's case if prosecutor Lisa Gamoian can explain why Wesson didn't have gunshot residue on his hands or show the jury that he was a controlling man who ordered the killings.
"I don't see this as a major setback for the people," Hunt said. "I don't think that just because there's no gunshot residue on him that a jury is going to find him blameless."
