That a normal condition for the circumstances. There’s nothing to preclude him from having someone else come to his defense.
BTW, has anyone noticed that besides this Crump guy, there’s 2 or 3 other lawyers that go on the cable channels and speak as the Martin family attorney.
How many attorneys does the Martin family actually have?
But what if he dies or is severely injured because he didn’t have a gun to defend himself with? Is the judge held liable for his death?
