We have been busily preparing for his day in Court, as Farmer will be representing himself. The Summary Process Session is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 1, in the Clinton District Court and is open to the public.
As part of our research went sat in several cases last week. It was actually quite interesting. The judge struck me as being very fair and thoughtful, and went out of his way to explain things which is so important, especially when defendant have hastily assigned Public Defenders or no lawyer at all, and those for whom require the assistance of a translator. We witnessed all these situations.
Farmer filed this “Answer” under the advisement of Legal Aid. Since then we have researching similar cases, printing out documents, and trying to get a lawyer or some press coverage (unsuccessfully so far). Dipietro-Answer-07.13.22.pdf
