On Day 6 of the second-degree murder trial, Justin Bone stood in court and told the judge he is not satisfied with his lawyer and wants him removed — a move he's made before.
In an unexpected and dramatic move on Monday, Justin Bone stood up in court and fired his defence lawyer.
It isn’t the first time he’s done that.
Bone is on trial for second-degree murder in the deaths of Ban Phuc Hoang and Hung Trang, who were were fatally attacked at their workplaces in Chinatown on the afternoon of May 18th, 2022.
Both men worked near each other in the area directly north of downtown: Hoang at Universal Electronics and Trang at Albert’s Autobody Shop.
The trial in the deaths began last week.
On Monday, Bone stood in court and told the justice he is ready to remove his counsel.
“I am not satisfied with is work that he is doing with his cross-examination,” Bone said.
Bone was next to his lawyer David Wolsey when he made the declaration. After he dismissed Wolsey, Bone was taken into the prisoner’s box.
