- This reminds me of a case in Connecticut last year (sorry, don't know the
- title) in which a criminal defendant decided to handle his own case with the
- advice of a so-called legal advisor whose primary experience was handling his
- own cases. The papers indicated exactly who controlled the case was never
- fully determined, but the defendant was convicted on all counts. Just goes to
- show you shouldn't go into court with a mechanic in the chair next to you. :-)
