I know. This is nuts.W.T.F.

I think the judge has that right too.So I wonder if the judge hears Merritt's reasons... says, nope, not going for it... Maline stays on and finishes for the day and they sentence Merritt, right? I think the judge does have discretion to say 'not a good enough reason'.
I don't think Maline even gets to represent him in his appeals. That's right isn't it? So he's firing him just to try and get these motions through by some other lawyer I think.

part of the justice system is having competent representation for a defendant... did Maline sound competent this morning? (at one point Merritt had to correct him with a tower or azmuth or something)
I think the only reason that Merritt could give is that Maline did something 'wrong' during the presentation today. It would have to be a legal error, I believe. Something he did that was wrong, incompetent.
Could having to correct his attorney be enough?
Yep we are seeing how he responds to not being in control.I think Maline told Merritt now is not the time to argue this stuff and Merritt insisted. Once Merritt saw that the judge wasn't going to fall for the BS he's now blaming Maline for everything. Merritt doesn't like to be told no and just like a child he wants his own way. He's an extremely manipulative and calculating individual who knows exactly what he's doing. And he has nothing but time and access to all of the jail house know-it-alls.
Maybe Merritt is upset Maline didn't mention Provecho in his motion.
Seriously, this whole thing is off the rails.
