Martin Lindstedt continued to waste the taxpayers' time and money during an appearance Thursday in Newton County Circuit Court.
The perennial candidate, who faces statutory sodomy charges, was given an opportunity to speak about the many motions he has filed with the court, but refused, so Judge Kevin Selby dismissed the motions.
Since Lindstedt has not yet found an attorney, Selby appointed a public defender for him. Naturally, Lindstedt refused, according to court records. Selby cited Lindstedt for contempt of court and sentenced him to 660 days in jail.
Lindstedt's preliminary hearing has been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. July 21.

Martin was given 660 days in jail for contempt yesterday.
Thanks. I hadn't realized that I forgot to put that in.
That was as a result of 22 counts of contempt of 30 days each count. The man does not know when to shut up!
With that motor mouth running morning, noon and night, Martin Lindstedt s his own worse enemy. The greatest favor a judge can grant him is to find him too incompetent to put on his own defense and to appoint competent legal counsel. Martin knows just enough about the law to get himself in trouble. And for what he's been accused of, he better thank his lucky stars that he's not in the general jail population.
