This was a state trail and the lawyer was not a member of the state bar therefor he was not a lawyer in that state.

This was a federal trial on a federal charge. The judge could have easily admitted the guy's lawyer of choice just for that particular trial, but chose not to, for whatever reason. Instead the case was handled by a proxy, who had never tried a federal criminal case before in his life.
