I used to be a crime beat reporter and if there's one thing I learned, it's that acting as one's own attorney is a really bad idea. Not that I feel sorry for Mpaka at all, given what he's accused of.

We all know the saying that acting as one's attorney is having a fool for a client.
What surprises me more is why it took so long to go to trial. Mpaka was caught in Minnesota, not another country. I get the mental health issues but 11 years later is insane (no pun intended).

If nothing else, he might have mental health issues but he clearly knew right from wrong judged on the fact he fled after the crime and was giving a fake name to people who asked who he was. It shouldn't have taken this long to get him to trial. Here's hoping for a swift guilty verdict.
