Without being able to pull out a cite on point, I would still disagree. One can make a strong case that there is such a right - which, like everything else, can be abused and is therefore subject to reasonable conditions. It flows from three propositions. (1) The right to coordinate defenses among codefendants, which is firmly enough established that the attorney-client privilege has been extended to communications between an accused and a lawyer for a codefendant in a so-called "joint defense" situation. E.g., United States v. Schwimmer, 892 F.2d 237 (2nd Cir. 1989). When I was doing this stuff, we would put joint defense agreements in writing. (2) The right to represent oneself. Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806 (1975). (3) The right of defendants who are pro se to essentially the same tools as those who are represented. McKaskle v.Wiggins, 465 U.S. 168 (1984).

I think those three add up to the Browns' right to compound stupidity.

Actually, I think there is (drawing purely on memory here at this hour). The most recent example that comes to mind is the Dorean Group trial where Johnson and Heineman were representing themselves.
Of course, that went so well for everyone involved.

As much as the mere thought of E&E coordinating anything causes ones senses to recoil in horror, I suspected that they are not only entitled to make bigger fools of themselves than they otherwise would have, but that Wes, being a former public defender, would easily be able to provide some legalese supporting it. Sure enough.

My layman's take is that since they're both their own attorneys (even though Elaine claims she won't attend her own trial,) they have the right to consult with each other without limit.

It's complicated by the fact that these two pro se "attorneys" are both incarcerated, which no doubt brings into play all sorts of "inmate rights" stuff, some of which may actually be Constitutionally important. They probably have the same rights that any pair of unincarcerated pro se moron co-defendants have.

Which means that this could actually be a case of first impression. Leave it to Ed.

This is good, but not great. There is a case that outlines the guarantee of "access to the courts". Knowing what to write and say is one thing, but to deliver it at the right time, and in the correct manner is a skill one learns first by observation. My suggestion is that, even though they are federal prisoners in a county facility, they also be allowed to visit the courthouse next door to observe HOW attorneys handle their cases in the courtroom to pick up tips on what to do in Concord next month. Especially since when assigned a Bar Association attorney he or she already knows HOW to do this by both training in observation AND participating in mock trials while in school, and in on- the- job training for a time as a paralegal before they are licensed. There is the constitutional guarantee of "equal" rights, right? JSH
Now we have to train pro se dependents on how to be lawyers for free? If that's the case, who foots the bill for the guards to make sure they don't make a break for it? And who is brave enough to physically gag E&E so they don't shout sovereign obscenities during someone else's trial? What's the standard worker's comp settlement on having a finger bitten off and swallowed by a dentist or exterminator?

Here's a tip that "Fast Eddy" Brown might have picked up from his first trial:

ATTEND THE TRIAL!

Judging by how Edward of Clan:Moron handled his first trial (and the post-conviction "appeal" and "pleadings"), I think that we're looking at a learning curve that is Sisyphean at best.

Or, putting it more basic terms: You can't polish horse turds. The only thing that Ed will "learn" from time in court is that lawyers are part of the great Zionist-Masonic conspiracy.

Indeed they did, although I don't recall that it was a horse turd. Whatever it was wound up with amazing reflective properties for a turd. Shinier than the average 10 year-old chrome auto bumper.

Although some may think that this discussion of turds, horse-derived or otherwise constitutes a highjacking of this E&E topic as we all contemplate the high liklihood of both of these turds dying in federal prison, it clearly isn't as E&E and all of their machinations are nothing but BS.

The court has allowed Ed & Elaine to meet together to make joint plans for their trial.

Browns allowed daily meetings
Couple map defense without an attorney
By Margot Sanger-Katz
Monitor staff

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 05, 2009 - 12:00 am

A federal judge has given his blessing for Ed and Elaine Brown to enjoy daily, supervised visits at the Strafford County jail so the couple can coordinate defense strategies on their own behalf against a multitude of felony charges alleging conspiracy, weapons possession and obstruction of justice.

The couple were charged earlier this year for their conduct during a nearly nine-month standoff at their fortified Plainfield home. The Browns evaded arrest while entertaining guests, threatening law enforcement officers, and stockpiling weapons and homemade bombs, prosecutors say, and were ultimately arrested in October 2007 by an undercover team of U.S. marshals posing as supporters.

During separate arraignments last month, the Browns disputed the legitimacy of the charges against them and of the court overseeing their case. They refused to enter pleas and declined the services of court-appointed attorneys. Elaine Brown told the judge she did not wish to attend any future hearings or her trial.

But in a motion filed with the court last week, Elaine Brown asked that she be allowed to meet with her husband to plan their defense. In a response submitted Tuesday, prosecutors said the U.S. Marshals Service, which is supervising the Browns as they await charges, was instructed to facilitate daily meetings.

"The defendants will be allowed to meet privately with each other for at least one hour per day, seven days per week," the motion said, adding that attempts will be made to extend the meetings to two hours.

"While the defendants are together, they will be monitored visually by jail personnel but their conversations will not be monitored," it said.

The motion also indicated that the Browns would have shared access to the jail's law library and government discovery documents.

In an order signed yesterday, Judge George Singal said the jail should continue to let the Browns meet.

The couple have been separated since their arrest in October 2007, and they were reunited during a brief meeting on the day of their arraignments. The prosecution motion said the couple's daily meetings in jail have already begun.

The Browns virtually face life sentences if they are convicted of all of the charges against them. Ed Brown, 66, and Elaine Brown, 68, are serving 63-month sentences for tax-related crimes. One of the new charges - of possessing destructive devices - carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 years in prison, on top of any penalties from the other charges.

At the time of the Browns' arrest, dozens of explosive devices, including pipe bombs, gunpowder grenades, homemade mines and exploding rifle targets, were found inside their house, prosecutors said. During the trial of three supporters last year, a technician from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives testified that Ed Brown's fingerprints had been found on several of the devices.

The Browns' trial is scheduled for April.

Welcome to Quatloos.

I don't think the E&E think-tank would want their ilk to be associated with lawyers. After all, lawyers are part of the evil B.A.R. association.

The Bill of Peace is interesting.

Any bets on whether Brown's idiot supporters are going to convene a common law jury to prosecute the Judge Singal, Judge McAuliffe, US Atty Colontuono, AUSAs Morse and Huftalen, and Clerk of the Court Starr of treason in absentia?

These docket entries present the judge with something of a dilemma. Does he sua sponte enter an order striking them from the docket, thereby wasting another piece of paper, or does he simply ignore them as meaningless?

My guess is the latter.

Of course the judge also could write in red crayon Refused for Cause UCC...

In a delusional, psychotic kind of way.

For example, I cannot even begin to guess at a diagnosis for Ed and Elaine defining themselves as "the One."
