Who wants to help us at trial?
A pro se defendant in Illinois recently asked for a court-appointed “assistant” to take notes for him during his trial:
“I want an assistant to keep notes and keep track of things during trial testimony. I’m not able to keep track of everything that’s said by everybody during testimony,” said Pinkston.
I know exactly how you feel, Mr. Pinkston! Can I get an assistant like that, too, please?

Heh. It’s especially hard when you have a client whispering in your ear that everything the witness is saying is false.
