Courtroom Proceedings in Attempted Murder Case

Judge Pincus: Mr. Crawford, you have been charged with section 664 slash 187 of the California penal code: Attempted murder. Do you waive further reading of the complaint and complete statement of rights?

Public Defender: You do.

Ted Crawford: I do. But, I... I want...

Judge Pincus: And do you wish to enter a plea at this time?

Ted Crawford: Yes, not guilty. But I also want to waive my right to counsel and to represent myself.

Judge Pincus: Surely you won't have trouble finding an attorney, Mr. Crawford?

Ted Crawford: No, but I want to do it myself.

Public Defender: Your Honor, if I can have a moment with my client.

Ted Crawford: I'm not your client. Try and keep up, will you?

Judge Pincus: Uh, Mr. Crawford, you're facing some very serious charges here. I strongly urge you to retain counsel.

Ted Crawford: That's very kind but I believe I'm within my rights.

Judge Pincus: Be aware that lack of counsel will not be grounds for an appeal.

Ted Crawford: Oh, I understand. I understand.

Judge Pincus: People have an objection, Mr. Beachum?

Willy Beachum: Well, Your Honor, we have a verbal and signed confession. So, I would strongly advise Mr. Crawford to get a competent attorney to try and negotiate a plea.

Judge Pincus: That's pretty damning evidence, Mr. Crawford. You wanna reconsider?

Ted Crawford: Absolutely not.

Willy Beachum: Huh. It's gonna turn into a circus.

Judge Pincus: I appreciate your concern for the dignity of the court, 007. Unfortunately, the man is a tax-paying citizen and entitled by our constitution to try and manipulate the legal system like everybody else.
