Perhaps taking a page from the Zacarias Moussaoui playbook, sniper suspect John Muhammed asked for and was granted permission to represent himself at his trial. Opening arguments were delayed a bit this morning while the Judge considered the request. His lawyers will remain on as standby counsel.
Update: Real time reporting of opening arguments is here, provided by reporter Kerry Sipes of the Virginia Pilot.
We're scheduled to do an online chat for the Washington Post tomorrow at 3pm EST, subject to change of course depending on breaking events in the case.
