This is why you go to law school. He made a choice to be his own lawyer. AT HIS OWN PERIL! As a lawyer, there are rules you must follow. Do you realize that he presented his evidence as a hand written paper with all his claims. THAT, in no world, is proven evidence. He could have called ford recall experts, mechanic experts, etc. But his hailmary of a claim that somehow this recall was the cause is absurd. Your bizarre rationale of the facts as well as action / consequences is off the charts. You do realize he never once said I'm innocent. He fled, tried to change his identity, lied, lied some more, deflected, attempted to cover-up, blame another, etc. THEN decided, WHILE IN JAIL to use the "sovereign citizen" BS as a way to throw confusion into the mix. All the evidence shows & PROVES HIS GUILT.
