"On July 16, a reporter asked Levi Chavez about the pending wrongful death civil lawsuit against him.
Bring it on, replied the former Albuquerque police officer, who at the time was strutting through the parking lot of the Sandoval County District courthouse minutes after a jury had acquitted him of charges that he killed his wife in 2007.
By this morning, when he appeared before Second Judicial District Chief Judge Ted Baca in Albuquerque for a motions hearing in the civil case, Chavezs tone was decidedly different.
Now, he says he cant find a lawyer who is willing to represent him. And even if he could, he wouldnt be able to afford one.
I think Ill be in debt the rest of my life to be honest, he said in court this morning. Im probably going to have to (represent myself and) go pro se, (but) I dont know how to try a civil case. I have no idea what Im doing, and its probably going to be very embarrassing for me.
