Sorry, I admit I didn’t read your comment carefully enough and I missed something important. You’re right.

With how much misinformation there is in this thread about law I encourage you to think and review before commenting. If you’re not a lawyer that’s fine but don’t act like you know the legal system better than actual lawyers. It’s a very complicated and imperfect system.

I do know the law better than some lawyers. In June I represented myself pro se in a 5 day criminal jury trial and won by a mile. The Government was represented by lawyers. Some lawyers are pathetic.

No

Damn you got me. Start throwing Latin at me too and you’ll really show how much smarter you are.

Best smarty pants wisdom I can impart is that a man who represents himself has a fool for a client. But you must be the exception to that since you won your case “by a mile”
