Once again.....and again.....and again.....it's everybody else's fault BUT Matt's that he is in the position he is in. I don't know if Matt really thinks he knows the law better than the Judge and all of the ever-growing mass of lawyers involved here or if he's just so used to throwing mud at the wall just to see what will stick. But here we go again....
"In a two-page letter to his appellate attorney, Stan Schwieger, which Baker copied to 19th State District Judge Ralph Strother, the 38-year-old explained he is unhappy with the court-appointed attorney’s representation thus far and told the judge he wants to “discharge him.”
Baker also asked that Strother, who presided over Baker’s murder trial in January, recuse himself from the case.

There's a hearing set for this Friday at 8:30am. I will also see if Matt's 2-page letter is filed yet.
