crime against district attorney

[migustopropinas]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? alaska

I committed a crime against the district attorney and I want to represent myself, is it fair to say that I would be granted a change of venue based on the small population of the courts employees and that I could not possibly receive a fair trial in the county I'm at.
also I received a questionnaire, and asked me if I understood that the judge could not treat me any differently than the district attorney that's prosecuting the case, but I feel that attorneys take pulse to uphold the law and the judge would find that the district attorney has more credibility than me thus he would treat me differently, if I represented myself. any help thanks

If you want to represent yourself, you will be treated as an attorney would -- you will be expected to follow ALL of the rules, know all the statutes/rules of evidence/rules of criminal procedure/local rules/caselaw and follow them. You will be expected to act as though you are an attorney. If you unable to do that, you do not want to represent yourself. Quite frankly you do not want to represent yourself if you need to ask about change of venue.

I was more asking about, wouldn't a judge give the attorney more credibility than me, and if so isn't that a catch 22?

Do you have a criminal record?

Do you have a criminal record?

yes, I'm hesitant to pay for a public defender because he in turn works for the state

You admit to committing the crime. Do you expect to commit ANOTHER crime in order to get out of the first crime? Really?

What other crime?

Anyway, while a change in venue would probably be appropriate for the facts as stated, it takes more than a motion to get one in a criminal case. I think an attorney would be needed to be successful.

thank you to this poster, yeah I have no idea what the other guys talking about, I guess that's why it says that free advice dot com does not condone what the users say, but yeah if it's going to take an attorney to get the change of venue I think that is in my best interest, and I guess I'll go that route, I have nothing to lose.

thanks guys

What perjury? I see nothing to indicate he is lying about a material matter under oath.

Let's be objective here.

Who is in need of legal help? You, or Zig?

Well, one must consider the source of the thread. Did it not occur to you before committing a crime against the DA that it was probably a pretty stupid thing to do? Assuming of course you are the type of person who thinks committing crimes regularly is okay to begin with.

Admitting he did it on this site isn't exactly the smartest move. His lawyer should have told him to shut up.
