Angela Davis Seeks Self Representation in Marin Court
Angela Davis argued for the right to represent herself in her murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy case, claiming that white judges, juries, and attorneys bias the system against black defendants. Atnason postponed ruling as defense publicity issues loom. Prosecutor Harri praised her advocacy but said self representation would blur lawyer defendant lines. Davis cited Magee and Jackson as examples of alleged systemic bias and urged the court to acknowledge a black defendant’s fear in American courtrooms.
