The Nunc Pro Tunc

 THE NUNC PRO TUNC

Nunc pro tunc and representation. David MacNeill, trial counsel, withdrew 01/31/2024, re-appointed nunc pro tunc 11/21/2024, effective 04/10/2024, counsel of record during trial through verdict. Sentencing: pro se with elbow counsel beside him. Waived counsel 08/16/2024.
Abandoned when it mattered. A man sits alone at the defense table beside an empty chair marked Defense Counsel, between a Motion to Withdraw stamped WITHDRAWN and a Motion for Reappointment stamped NUNC PRO TUNC. Not a fair fight.
