This might have been posted already - it's video of Trail in court yesterday, June 13. He said he wants to proceed pro se (representing himself), but the court appointed a stand-by lawyer in case he changes his mind. The next court appearance is for the election of a preliminary hearing, and Trail indicated that wasn't necessary as he agrees to proceed as quickly as possible. The judge said she will keep the election of a preliminary hearing date on the calendar so that the stand-by lawyer has time to review.
The guy looks smug, imo. What's with his seeming to push the case "quickly" - another manipulation to make himself look like he's taking responsibility? Or to go quickly to rush the prosecutors so their case isn't ready and strong enough to convict him? Or is he just being a smug for the sake of being smug?
Maybe this is his retirement plan. He couldn't make it in society so when all his scams and schemes fell apart, he planned to just spend the rest of his life in jail and his plan is falling into place? I'm only half-joking - what's this game he seems to be playing?
