I'll split hairs here for a second, just so we can all be accurate.

If you read the transcript of the hospital session, Tsarnaev did actually say "No" to a question.

THE COURT:
You also have the right to have this Court assign counsel if you cannot afford counsel or if you cannot obtain counsel.

Can you afford a lawyer?

THE DEFENDANT:
No.

THE COURT:
Let the record reflect that I believe the defendant has said, "No."

I have provisionally appointed the federal defender, Mr. Fick, to represent you in this matter.

We don't know if he said any other words beyond that, but technically, he did stop talking.

He could afford $900 shoes a couple of weeks ago. SHouldn’t he have to prove he has not money to have a public defender?

I’ll bet he can’t afford counsel. Not since sugar daddy Saudi hung him out to dry.
