Someone talked about the pretrial hearing when he declared he was going to be pro se, aka pro per. During that hearing I learned that pro per is short for pro persona, whatever tf that means lol.
I'm not quite done, but I just got to a particularly hilarious part. The state said some witnesses were reticent about testifying on camera and wanted to know if the camera could be directed on anything but their face. After the state was done with their argument, the judge asked DB to give his argument. He said he fully understood the trauma this might cause the witnesses and said he thought the best resolution to the problem was to just have them not testify lmao.
You can watch it at about 2 hrs and 16 minutes here. Watch the 2 guys behind the state's table after he says it.
