IANAL but combining a claim for mental incapacity with one to serve as his own counsel is a bit of a stretch even for these guys surely? It's a bit tricky to be competent enough to represent yourself and yet not competent enough to bear responsibility. I think he''s going for the Athenian democracy definition aws being a person who has opted out of civic life. However even then it didn't make you immune from prosecution. But since when did these troglodytes make sense?
