Today's Washington Post leads with the news that accused sniper John Allen Muhammad fired his lawyers and chose to defend himself Monday.
In a sidebar to this story, "A Legal Move That Rarely Helps," the Post quotes Edward B. MacMahon Jr., a defense attorney, as saying:
"If a witness testifies that they saw him, what's he going to say, 'It wasn't me'?"
Meanwhile, back in the courtroom, Muhammad said,
"And I say to these people: We know something happened. They wasn't there. I was. I know what happened, and I know what didn't happen."Posted by Vanderleun at October 21, 2003 8:33 AM | TrackBack
