Скачать или смотреть Pro Se Defendant Tries to Outsmart the Court — It Doesn’t Go Well

A man walks into court convinced he can handle his felony case on his own.
No lawyer. No backup. Just confidence.

What follows is a tense courtroom exchange that quickly shows why representing yourself can go very wrong — very fast.

In this video, we break down a real Michigan court hearing involving pro se defendant Daniel McGough, who insists on representing himself before Judge Simpson. The case raises key questions about self-representation, probable cause, Miranda rights, and the limits of courtroom strategy when a defendant refuses counsel.

Along the way, the judge carefully explains McGough’s rights — and the serious risks he’s taking — as the hearing unfolds in real time.

This is not a reenactment.
This is not commentary.

This is what actually happens when a defendant decides to take on the court alone.
