MOTION FOR VIDEO CAMERAS IN THE COURTROOM
NOW COMES the defendant, by pro se, and to request that the court in the interest of Justice and openness allow videotaping by two, unobstrusive cameras and in support thereof states as follows:
- That the defendant presently is charged with the offense of harassment by telephone, 720 ILCS 135/1-1.
- That the defendant is representing herself in this charge against her by pro se and has been instructed by the court on November 18, 1999 that she is to be held at the same standards as licensed, practicing attorneys, including those charged with the duties of prosecuting her.
- That the defendant is of above average intelligence, college degreed and believes that if Justice is the issue, she should have no problem as a tax-paying, law abiding citizen representing herself against a British national who has lied, cheated and deceived her, in a court of her own land that claims to be for all the people, in a court of her own ancestors who fought against everything this Brit stands for in a Revolution of 1776.
- That the prosecutor has obvious advantages of a law degree, experience in practicing criminal law from the side of the prosecution and experience in the court and with the presiding judge.
- Whereas the defendant has the right to make reasonable requests for information that the court doesn't normally provide as a part of its procedures where both sides are represented by degreed and experienced lawyers, as a reasonable part of Pro Se law.
WHEREFORE, the defendant moves this court to grant the motion for cameras in the courtroom.
