McDonald County white supremacist Robert Joos, convicted earlier this month on federal weapons charges says his public defender sabotaged his case, he became sick from food provided to him by the government, and that the key witness in his defense was murdered in August.
In a rambling handwritten, five-page note filed Friday in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Joos asked the judge to remove his public defender and either find him not guilty or order a new trial.
He begins his letter repeating a statement he made in an earlier letter to the court that he should not have been charged for illegally possessing a weapon because he is an American and has the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
In addition, Joos claims:
-The denial of bail kept him from being able to properly prepare for his trial.
-The search warrant through which evidence was obtained was illegal.
-The evidence against him was false since "cops routinely commit perjury."
-Only "dangerous felons" are prevented from owning firearms. Joos noted that his previous convictions were for violations of the conceal/carry laws and driving without a license.
-The jury was prejudiced by the prosecution saying lies about him.
-The jury was prejudiced because Joos had to wear "jail clothes" instead of street clothes.
-He was denied treatment for chronic fatigue, headaches, nausea and chronic chest pains, "all of which started after partaking of food brought to me by BATF spies in February 2009
-He was stressed by the news that Jack Pierson "who would have been my chief witness and was a like second father to me, had been murdered last August.
In his letter, Joos says, "I don't train anyone in the use of guns or bombs. I'm not a weapons or explosives expert. I owned no ammo, guns, or explosives since 1981."
