The defendant is a pro per. I listened to a lot of it and he obviously had no idea what he was doing. I’ve defended innumerable cases like this. Pro per defendants are almost without exception in way over their heads and they trip over the simplest things. He should have had a lawyer.

Thanks for your insight. As it moves to federal level, perhaps he will get a lawyer.
And this is a MAJOR problem. The "law" is too damn complex. The common citizen can (and will at some point in their lives) be caught up in this rats nest of "laws". Judges and DA's like these assholes will say ignorance is not excuse. Really? I bet if I cased this judge and DA for the day they broke some "laws". Hell, the judge hardly knew what was being prosecuted; took her 30 seconds in between single syllable words to figure out what the hell was going on and repeat it.
All the states need to enact a new law. For every new law, three will be abolished.
I quite honestly have no freaking clue if anything I do anymore is "legal".
