It's not like Williams didn't have an attorney after he was arrested. He's had several. But in each case, he's either fired them or grieved them. So the judge said enough and told Williams he'd have to represent himself at his trial. But as the trial got underway this week, Williams became disruptive and was removed from the courtroom, leaving the defense table empty.
Harrigan said, “The judge has brought him in both days to begin the trial and at both times he's chosen through is own actions or his own voice that he does not wish to be at the proceeding."
One by one, witnesses were called to the stand and questioned by the prosecution with no objections or cross-examinations.
District Attorney Mike Green says he is unaware of any cases in Monroe County that have gone to trial in the past without anyone present on behalf of the defense.
Green says it's not a scenario they wanted and will likely be an issue brought up on appeal but added he thinks the judge was left with no other option.
The judge, then, within his legal authority, decided that he would defend himself.
...told Williams he'd have to represent himself at his trial.

however this judge wont allow the defendant to have a lawyer
the judge makes him defend himself
then when the judge throws the defendant out of court, he proceeds in sentencing a man who has absolutely no representation and is not even present
Here's the solution.
It would save the taxpayers lots of money.

I guess you won't change your mind until the day that you are the guy in the picture without the gun....they will change your mind for you in an instant.
1 Corinthians 15:4
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

The men who believed in Jesus' Resurrection from the dead, known today as Christ's Disciples, certainly had their testimony, as well as their convictions, tested by those who disbelieved. With the exception of John, every one of these men were put to death. These deaths were excruciating and merciless. More so were their lives, as these men were persecuted by the secular world and suffered great hardship for the spreading of their beloved Gospel, which they proclaimed.
