A Capitol Rioter Represented Himself in Court and It Went Very, Very Wrong​


A Jan. 6 Capitol rioter admitted to new crimes he hadn’t been accused of during a court hearing this week, serving as yet another reminder of why you should never try to act as your own lawyer.

Brandon Fellows, a 27-year-old from Albany, New York, was charged with multiple crime
s, including obstruction of an official proceeding, which could land him in prison for up to 20 years. Fellows is accused of entering the Capitol building during the Jan. 6 riot and was caught on video smoking cannabis in Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley’s office.

But on Tuesday, while testifying in his own bond hearing—he admitted to preparing for the wrong kind of hearing—Fellows accidentally described to the court actions that could constitute more crimes: He admitted to listing the phone number of a New York state judge’s wife as his own in an attempt to get the judge dismissed from the case, based on a supposed “loophole” he read about online, according to Courthouse News.
Fellows also admitted to asking his lawyer if he should do that in his federal case. Fellows testified that his lawyer told him: “You did not find a loophole, Brandon, I promise you. If you do this with Judge [Trevor] McFadden, you will be arrested.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Fellows’ motion to have his bond status revoked was denied. McFadden told Fellows that he admitted to obstruction of justice and perjury on the stand.
“You’ve admitted to incredible lapses of judgment here on the stand, not least of which was seeking to disqualify a New York state judge,” McFadden, a U.S. District Court judge nominated by former President Donald Trump, told Fellows.
“You’ve engaged in a pattern of behaviors that shows contempt for the criminal justice system, and I just have no confidence that you will follow my orders if I release you.”

Fellows is one of several accused Capitol rioters who’ve fired their lawyers and chosen to represent themselves in court. He did so despite being repeatedly warned by his former public defender and by McFadden that doing so was a bad idea. Fellows did it anyway.
“Although, as Justice Blackmun says, I may be a fool to represent myself, I am nowhere near as big a fool as Joe Biden,” Fellows told the court last month.

Fellows was allowed out on bail, but he was rearrested in July after prosecutors said rambling, obscene voicemail messages for his pretrial services officer and her mother.
“I’m at a loss as to how to advise Mr. Fellows. I’ve never seen a defendant take a stand in a bond review hearing, and I think there are good reasons for that,” McFadden said Tuesday. “Any statements you say now could be used against you at trial. I don’t know what you intend to say and it sounds like the attorneys aren’t sure either.”
This is the kind of behaviour you get when the President calls a bunch of wackos "very special".
 
Why do so many black people trust Donald Trump even though he is said to be a hardcore racist?

Probably for the same reasons you trust Trump.
If I were an American I would vote for Trump because he is not a typical politician.


More specifically, he is not even a politician.

He's kind of a rebel.
Wether they are black, white, latin or whatever, the reason why people trust him remains the same : STUPIDITY

I think it’s a little racist to say that people of color are stupid if they vote for Trump.

A wise Fin once said:
The moral of the story:

Always ask a professional to come when a pipe failure occurs!

So why wouldn't the same apply to political office? Why would a failed businessman be a solution?

Can you actually read ? I specifically said it applies to every people, never mind their races : I you trust Truump, you're stupid
A businessman is not a failure if he can afford to live in such a house.

So, you're admiting you're measuring a man's worth by his wealth ? That's not very christian...

Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness.
Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,
for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
Proverbs 23 ; 4-5

This is a matter of opinion.

Liberals hate Trump and those who have benefited from the economic growth that took place during his reign praise him.

"Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed."

(Proverbs 19: 17)​

@assari this is the last time I'm going to warn you about triple posting. Combine your posts into one at a time or I'll suspend you.

No, it's not. Read the Bible : Jesus doesn't like rich people, he prefers poor people.

1) The economic growth ypou talk about is only the continuation of what happened during Obama's presidency
2) The economic growth benefited to rich people. Poor people middle classes only got crumbs. And many of them lost their health insurrance.

In my view a man who rejects a business man's career and takes up very ungrateful work is rebellious in nature.
But that "very ungrateful work" you talk about needs to be done. Someone has to do it.

Few of us can say that we have achieved as much as Trump
Yeah, few people managed to get 6 bankrupties.
Few people managed to be impeached twice in the same presidential term.
Few people ended their first (and only) presidential term with an approval rating below 35%
