Heh heh. I almost feel sorry for the feeble bastard.

Next on NBC
Written from the headlines, an all new episode of Law and Order.

A religious man accused of a crime, to a law he doesn't acknowledge exists.

Quote:

I follow only the law of god!

And he will become his only hope of getting off, by being his own lawyer.

Quote:

I am competent to be a lawyer. I know most of the New Testament.

And he won't stop at anything to confuse the jury. (showing Jack McCoy and new blonde lawyer crying at their desks)

Quote:

And when we begin to watch the 5th DVD in my Creationism Set you'll see dinosaurs are mentioned 1,029 times in Numbers alone.

Has McCoy met his match?

Quote:

Lets just cap the bastard!

Next on NBC... But first GW Bush guest stars on an all new West Wing.

Quote:

There have been too many suicide bombings lately.

in this episode, does God himself take pity on Hovind's plight and come down and defend him himself?

Only to find out that god himself can't win a court case with that little legal defense?

Special guest writer: James Morrow.

(Unless we think Hovind is a berserker. If that is the case then Fred Saberhagen can do the writing.)

Hey Jimmy Higgins,

There was a Law and Order sort of like that - a guy claimed he was the new Christ incarnate, and had a cult. He convinced a woman to suicide bomb some place, so McCoy charged him with kidnapping. They put a kid on the stand to show how brainwashed these people were. He got convicted, and his church all drank poison the next day!

It was actually very disturbing.

oh and I think he did defend himiself, cuz the defense lawyer wanted him to plead insanity and he disagreed that he was insane.

Scattered thoughts.

The arresting cop and prosecutor are clearly ticked at the guy (probably from prior complaints from these same neighbors) and want to take him down. They could easily have charged disorderly conduct and trespassing and called it done. They are probably hoping for at least a felony conviction, although even if he was convicted of the first degree burglary offense, I doubt he would get more than a minimum sentence.

My guess is that his claim of ownership will be that he handed the resident money, which resulting in the property being instantly his, since he has the power of eminent domain on God's behalf, and that he wanted to come in and inspect the place immediately.

Why would Hovind want to defend himself against the felony charges when he does have a lawyer?

"ROLLO , M" is his lawyer on the building code charge. See <a href="http://205.152.130.8/cv_web_1b.asp?ucase_id=62294168" target="_blank">this</a>.</strong>

UPDATE:

Hovind <a href="http://205.152.130.14/cv_web_1b.asp?ucase_id=12619523" target="_blank">told the judge</a> that he is hiring M. Rollo for this case too.

If Hovind is representing himself and he is "hireing" M. Rollo, does that mean that M. Rollo is one of Hovind's alternate personalities?

Multiple personality disorder.

He's one of the few people that's decided to do something about it.

Rollo is his personality trained in law
