Josh, You There?

Judge Joel Cohen issued a court notice yesterday asking, in essence, if Josh Powell or his attorneys intended to show up for jury selection and the trial. Given jury selection started on Tuesday, January 2nd, I take it that neither Powell nor an attorney representing him showed up for it.

You may remember that his prior attorneys, Akin Gump, dropped him for what appeared to be a failure to pay his legal bills. Indications at that time were that Powell was then going to act pro se or as his own attorney.

Now I have to wonder if he will just default by not showing up for the trial. It would be foolish to do so especially if he had been trying to cut a deal with the New York Attorney General’s Office. Oh, well, more than one former director has told me that Powell was not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
