When Representing Yourself Goes Terribly Wrong in Court

When Mr. Cressel arrived at Michigan's 34th District Court for a scheduled jury trial on two misdemeanors and a civil infraction, he came armed with sovereign citizen arguments, jurisdictional challenges, and claims of judicial bias. What he didn't come prepared for was Judge Oakley. In this episode, we break down the real constitutional tension at the heart of this case: the Sixth Amendment's right to self-representation versus a judge's inherent authority to maintain courtroom order. By the time the dust settled, Mr. Cressel had racked up $300 in contempt charges — and the trial never even started. LEGAL CONCEPTS COVERED: Sixth Amendment — Right to self-representation (Faretta v.
