Having heard him make a deposition, Lindell's the kind of guy I could see insisting on representing himself against better judgement.
There's no better judgement than Mike Lindell's judgement. That's a lumpy MyPillow guarantee!
lol not even if he wanted to (which would be very entertaining to watch, sadly)
I thought that to be interesting, never heard that before. Wonder what the reasoning is?
If it's incorporated (not a sole proprietorship or a partnership), the business is a legal entity just as a person, so the company would have to represent itself, but it's not a real physical entity, so it can't.
Just stuff a bunch of his pillows into a suit and call it a day. I mean how bad can M. Pillow, esquire, do?
And Lindell is not a lawyer so he can’t either.
You… you’ve seen his commercials right? He seems like not only the kind of guy who would represent himself, but he would also be on a ton of cocaine when he does it.
I think his cocaine use is determined by if he's writing a book at the time or not?
Can you practically represent yourself (as a non-lawyer) in a court as high as what he needs to appeal? They will throw it out on procedure grounds alone right?
I don't think he can. I seem to recall businesses aren't allowed to represent themselves in court.
He's going to end up with an overworked public defender.
