run that by me again
« on: 08 March 2005, 00:17:18 »
Judith Clark, 55, serving 75 years in prison for her part in the deadly 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored truck in the course of a plan to fund a "Republic of New Afrika" out of former "slave states," such as Mississippi and Alabama, filed a writ of habeas corpus in New York City in January, claiming that her trial judge had denied her a constitutional right. Clark became the latest inmate to claim that when a judge gave in to her aggressive demand to act as her own lawyer at trial (a job at which she proved unsuccessful), he violated her right to competent counsel.

She who defends herself has an idiot for a lawyer as well as for a client, but that does not mean that it is not her right, even when (or especially when) things go wrong

A writ of habeas corpus because the judge allowed her to act as her own lawyer.  Oh, puleeeeze!  :rolleyes:

Habeas corpus is a legal action, or writ, through which a person can seek relief from the unlawful detention of him or herself, or of another person. It protects the individual from harming him or herself, or from being harmed by the judicial system. Of English origin, the writ of habeas corpus has historically been an important instrument for the safeguarding of individual freedom against arbitrary state action.

A writ of habeas corpus ad subjiciendum, also known as "The Great Writ", is a summons with the force of a court order addressed to the custodian demanding that a prisoner be brought before the court, together with proof of authority, allowing the court to determine whether that custodian has lawful authority to hold that person; if not, the person shall be released from custody. The prisoner, or another person on his behalf (for example, where the prisoner is being held incommunicado), may petition the court or an individual judge for a writ of habeas corpus.

'Fraid so.  Know lots of lawyers in California.  And they're all sharks so you're wasting your time and money suing them.  Best just ignore it.  Maybe it'll go away when the fact finally sinks in that there's nothing here for it.
