00:00No, I've given my ruling. If they want to squabble, they can take it outside.
00:03I apologize, Your Honor, on their behalf.
00:17Mr. Beecham, I see a man who dresses for court.
00:22I'm very sorry, Your Honor. Very sorry. It's a long story.
00:28People of the State of California v. Theodore Crawford.
00:34Your Honor, the public defender is representing Mr. Crawford for his arraignment
00:37with the understanding that he will secure private counsel for all further proceedings.
00:42Mr. Crawford, you have been charged with section 664-187 of the California Penal Code, attempted murder.
00:50Do you waive further reading of the complaint and complete statement of rights?
00:54I do.
00:56And do you wish to enter a plea at this time?
00:58I'm not guilty, but I also want to waive my right to counsel and represent myself.
01:03Surely you won't have trouble finding an attorney, Mr. Crawford?
01:06No, but I want to do it myself.
01:08Your Honor, if I could have a moment with my client.
01:10I'm not your client. Try and keep up, will you?
01:12Mr. Crawford, you're facing some very serious charges here. I strongly urge you to retain counsel.
01:19That's very kind, but I believe I'm within my rights.
01:22Be aware that lack of counsel will not be grounds for an appeal.
01:25Oh, I understand.
01:27People have an objection, Mr. Beecham?
01:32Well, Your Honor, we have a verbal and signed confession.
01:38So I would strongly advise Mr. Crawford to get a competent attorney to try and negotiate a plea.
01:49That's pretty damning evidence, Mr. Crawford. Do you want to reconsider?
01:52Absolutely not.
01:54That's going to turn into a circuit.
01:55I appreciate your concern for the dignity of the court, 007.
01:58Unfortunately, the man is a tax-paying citizen and entitled by our Constitution to try and manipulate the legal system like everybody else.
02:06If Mr. Crawford wants to go pro per, that's going to take a while.
02:11Sadly, I won't be here for it, but people have no objection.
02:16Your Honor, I'd like to waive my right to preliminary hearing and go direct to trial as soon as possible.
02:22Does that help you, Mr. Beecham?
02:24You don't have to worry about Mr. Beecham, Mr. Crawford. The district attorney's office will assign another prosecutor.
02:30No, I like Mr. Beecham.
02:33Mr. Beecham, he likes you.
02:40That's terrific.
02:43It appears Mr. Crawford has an understanding of his rights and responsibilities, so it's your call, Mr. Beecham.
02:52All right, then. Case moved to trial at the first available date.
