Has anyone here represented themselves in court against a criminal charge? Not talking about a traffic citation. I'm talking about a legal matter with the possiblity of incarceration if you lose.

Got called back for jury duty...it was painful yet funny to watch this person fumble through the process of jury selection.

Hey, you gonna eat the rest of that corndog?

    No, but if I did I would probably not choose a jury trial .

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    Maybe a better way to word the question...

    Do you know of anyone that has attempted to do so?

    I spent about 30 seconds looking into stats for how many people represent themselves in criminal court but was unable to find any solid answers.
