how does one in jail refuse to come to court?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing. Is he going to try for diminished responsibility defense?
ReplyDeleteBut this may apply:

"But defendants who face charges have to plead at least once, in the early stages. (Most cases involve at least two pleas: the initial not-guilty plea, then a plea of guilty or no contest pursuant to a plea deal.)"
