I observed the first day of the trial and have mixed feelings about the whole thing. The guy is nuts. He was palpably paranoid and had been diagnosed with various psychological disorders when he was younger. I agree that what he did was heinous and that he needed to be taken off the streets, but I'm not convinced that he was competant to stand trial, much less represent himself. I don't know what alternatives would have been preferable, but the whole thing struck me as very not-right.

I had the unfortunate opportunity to hear Demas' side of the story from him directly, while he was in King County jail. All I can say without taking up pages here, is that I definitely agree with the previous comment about Demar not being competant to stand trial, let alone represent himself. I also don't believe that Demar 'talked' Kailani Brown into stabbing that poor girl. Ms. Brown was known to be violent and was extremely jealous. I know justice was not served as they have it backwards, if anything, Demar should've been properly represented and received 2nd degree murder, and Kailani Brown receive 1st degree murder charges. Kailani Brown is playing the 'I was manipulated' card knowing she will get a lesser charge by using her age and gender as a way to portray herself as a pawn. In reality though, she knows she went crazy on that poor girl by stabbing and killing her out of jealous rage. No excuse if you ask me.I've given up on our legal system, legal technicalities rule, justice doesn't seem to exist.
