During an arrest, accused criminals are told if they can’t afford an attorney, one will be appointed to them. Occasionally, brazen defendants decline a public defender and choose to represent themselves in their case. The Law&Crime Network’s Jesse Weber breaks down the top five times defendants represented themselves in court during high-profile trials.

No even lawyers represent themselves. Food for thought
Darrell Brooks is the definition of human 🚮🗑️
The infamous Ted Bundy represented himself.
Joker vibes
Bozos should ask themselves why lawyers don't even represent themselves in criminal trials.
What's the matter with these judges? Just put them in jail for contempt. Appeasement doesn't work, they just take it as weakness!
This judge is incapable of maintaining control of her court and should be removed from the bench. Every time he interrupts, send him to jail for 30 days for contempt. He'll get the message eventually.
Somehow, the people who represent themselves are the dumbest people on the planet with few exceptions
Second geezer reminds me a lot of Roland Freisler… x
How wasn't the first geezer done for contempt of court? In the UK, he'd have been done for that x
Buckwheat needs to settle down
The defendant appears to be exhibiting a mental disorder. Yet, defense lawyers never brought this up to the court and took their client's so-called complaint as request to represent himself. Curiously, the court found the defendant's grieivance against his attorneys as a motion to represent himself. I wonder if this case should have been tried elsewhere. 🤔
He never admitted it he showed no remorse it was about him me me me he did this he didn't need to he could stop car his tears for himself
Yeah in words of darnel there hurt on both sides omg he came out with utter nonsense he had no clue about law or his rights he made fool himself glad he got over 700yrs hes scum
Darnell brooks was disgrace let his lawyers do all work then got rid them think law needs change in America especially when comes to murder or sexul abuse cases
Alfalfa needs to stop screaming
Max Felix out of Massachusetts represented himself in 4 trials and won. Including a civil suit against a police officer. 12cv 10997 1st district. Check it out. A true fight against a corrupt system
The child and the women that stood against their attackers while they were questioned by their attacker are brave. To have to relive all of that and forced to talk to their attacker again :/
I would love to know who truly believes in sovereign citizenship.
He may have said he wanted the death sentence but when he got it, his hands were trembling. He couldn't even use his pen properly. I think it was some sort of reverse psychology and it didn't pan out
If I was the judge in the last case, the defendant saying that they wanted the death penalty because it's more "comfortable" on death row means that it is the exact sentence I would not give them.
I love the judge that gave 130 years but let him know he could get parole after only 110 years!
Omg. Really
I’m sorry but Ronnie O’Neal was not fit to stand trial, let alone represent himself. He should’ve already been a Thorazine zombie languishing in a poorly supervised, comically underfunded, state run psychiatric hospital.
i seriously don’t get why they allow some of these defendants to cross examine victims, i get everyone having rights but there has to be a line drawn at some point
Sovereign Citizenship is NOT REAL! It's fiction and nobody using it in court will ever win with it. Every person is subject to the laws of the area they are in no matter their status.
lol man you big mad –
This mf is a clown 🤣🤣🤣. But his face during sentencing was absolutely fulfilling
28:07
That judge giving him the side eye…
Note: the arguments made by the nuttiest of defendants are almost exactly the same as Donald Trump's accusations against prosecutors.
This is how American judicial system lets victims down that there should be an aptitude test for the allowed to represent themselves to see if they got the intelligence to do
Can’t imagine the type of woman that would want to have a kid with the first guy.
He wants a secretary or a lackey, but deserved nothing.
The only thing missing in Brooks' trial was a laugh track each time he spoke…😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
The first one legit sounded like a teacher trying to discipline an elementary student lol
This Judge needs to know how to control her courtroom some female judges are scared of men which clearly shows that in this court hearing that is why there is commit for court
How was he considered sane enough to represent himself?
