“I did not want to go pro se, I think it’s a stupid decision,” says Brandon Fellows of his decision to represent himself.
Brandon Fellows isn’t getting out of jail before trial.

Judge: “I gave you a chance… You’ve had chance after change.”

"You are charged with a federal felony, this is not some sort of community college where we give people pats on the back."
Judge Trevor McFadden’s community college comments were in reference to Brandon Fellows’ stated preference for positive reinforcement from law enforcement authorities.
In sum, things didn’t go well. law.com/nationallawjou…
