Sniper suspect to act as own lawyer

Looks like John Muhammad is going to be allowed to represent himself.

According to the Quotable Lawyer, edited by David Shrager and Elizabeth Frost, New England Publishing Associates, Inc., 1986, p. 49, that saying is a proverb apparently so old that its original author is not known. They quote it as, “He that is his own lawyer has a fool for a client.” They cite Rosalind Fergusson, The Facts on File Dictionary of Proverbs, 1983.
