Claiming ignorance here but how can he claim constitutional rights when he’s a self professed sovereign citizen??
idiot...claims ignorance and then talks about jury nullification.

it's the kitchen sink defense. I didn't do it. And if I did I still didn't. and if I did and actually did, it still wasn't me because I don't answer to that name, and if I did it and I did it I still didn't because I don't answer to that name, furthermore, I don't answer to your laws because I am a sovereign citizen but you better give me very poorly understood (by me) constitutional rights as a US citizen to a fair trial, meaning I get to act however I want and create law from spun air.

bet Mom does not show for verdict. In fact victims will have lots of seating in his area.

Fantastic term, kitchen sink defense :)

Boy I am clearing my calendar tomorrow PM. this is going to be good viewing but what will be better is the verdict which is sure to come down this week and so glad it is not a busy week for me. I think both Judge and State they will not be deliberating long.

'You can't make me give a closing argument!"

Oh Derwood... :rolleyes:

I came to the assumption that sov cit's only believe in and yell about their individual RIGHTS, and do not acknowledge nor abide by LAWS.

Ignorance of the law is no defense in the eyes of the law.
About a week ago I think the judge actually told him that.

Exactly and he was given the opportunity to have a lawyer appointed and he chose to defend himself. Pure stupidity, plain and simple IMO.

No judge or court official anywhere should ever have to tolerate this behavior by a defendant. A judge should not feel afraid in their own courtroom and then be expected to still run the trial as if these threatening behaviors had never happened. It’s deplorable. The judge should be looking for a body guard.

Favorite phrases today...."you being SLICK"..."Cut the CRAP" and of course "Lawful Law" whatever that is.

I think his escalation today is a sign he has nothing left to say and he wants to detract from that fact. What could he possibly say to the jury in closing? I didn't do it? It wasn't me? I mean, he's not stupid and even he knows he can't look those jurors in the face and say that. So I think he will act out forcing the judge to shut him down so he doesn't have to do a closing. He basically gave her a warning today of what to expect.

I suspect he asked his mother to come and testify on his behalf and she told him no! I think that could've played a role in his acting out today. He knew he wouldn't be able to present her after bragging she would obey him last week and he wanted to distract from the mother's no show. Just speculating...

can you believe he has baricaded himself off with the boxes. Those poor deputies in that room with him.
Its a Freudian expression by him. He feels boxed in as this trial nears a conclusion.

I'm not clear why he isn't allowed to argue jury nullification to the jury? I hate to agree with him about something but on that point I might agree with him.

Was it decided that sentencing would be this week?

how would that be relevant in this case? The law is clear and no way are they returning "not guilty" because of some flaw in the law....I don't see how he could argue for this.

not exactly...they can't really say for sure other than the impression I got if not by Monday we could have a delay due to judge's schedule.The can't assume a verdict as quick as some of us think and then how many will want to speak etc. Again I think the judge wants this done by Monday. I think behind the scenes the State will press to get it done too but wait until verdict rendered. They will have it arranged prior as to timing. With a time bomb like DB need to get it done soon. I am sure the jail personnel can't wait to see him leave.

I'm confused by this. What nullification grounds do you think he should be arguing? That the facts are not the facts? MOO the state has more than proven it's case that he was the perpetrator. That the law against running over a crowd are not just? MOO the law is just. I guess I'm just not following you here.

So today's antics were about him being afraid to be cross-examined.
