"For you to go to bat and take the case to trial or
even to pursue a plea, if that's what you were alluding to
before, with these lawyers is going to be totally against your
interest and against my duty to assure that you get effective
assistance of counsel." ~Judge A. Howard Matz. Summer of 2002, pre-trial of Killercop.

Judge A. Howard Matz:
"If you had said to me judge, I want to be my own lawyer, I would have spent a half hour explaining to you why that would be an absolutely mistaken decision on your part."
Page 20, Lines 24-25Judge A. Howard Matz:
"If you are not seeking to represent yourself you're making a wise decision"
Page 32, Lines 13-14
Judge A. Howard Matz:
"What about you, Killercop?"
Killercop: "I’m just a cog in the wheel at this point."
"So that's one alternative. You get another lawyer. But you get-that lawyer, and it could be a man or a woman, on the basis and in the manner I just described. In principle, the alternative to you having another lawyer derived from that method is to represent yourself. I don't know whether that's what you're seeking." I really don't understand what you're seeking.
But if
that's what you're seeking, then I would do my best to bang you
on the head and kick you on the shins, and I'm speaking
figuratively, I don't mean that literally, talk you out-of-that, BECAUSE it would be TOTALLY against your interests." ~Judge A. Howard Matz. Winter of 2002, pre-trial of Killercop.
Note: Matz Lost Me @ "I really don't understand...,"
"Okay. Well, I’ve already told you, as you acknowledged earlier today, KILLERCOP, that any individual who chooses to proceed on his own was taking enormous risks and subjecting himself to a CONSIDERABLE disadvantage."

It is too bad he wasn't in the same mood to make me that offer when he FORCED a lawyer on me.

Now you really need to tell me what you want as between those two alternatives.

Judge: "You don’t think you have the ability to defend yourself against the United States of America, and you’re right about that. I agree with you 100 percent." "It would be crazy to do it…"
Actually and factually KILLERCOP begged the court to not remove the original first attorneys at the September 23, 2002 hearing, page 18, Line 7-10.
"I would therefore request respectfully this court order the Public Defender’s Office to BE prepared to try the caseon October 22 [2002] as so [previously] ordered and to DENY any motion to be relieved."
