US has a long history of political activists defending themselves in court cases as a form of resistance to oppression! Perhaps we need an historical lesson in political activism in this country!

Certainly, in the case of the terror suspects, they just might prove how insane they really are by representing themselves to the judge/jury/etc. I am no lawyer and I really don't know if they could have proved themselves to be insane and get a lesser sentence as a result. Certainly anyone who is crazy and stupid enough to get caught planning a horrendous crime has a screw loose in their head.

Anand's case is very interesting. He must also be out of touch with reality if he thought he could represent himself. (To any legal experts out there, will the guy get any possibility of parole for good behavior? He better watch his derriere in prison, in the meantime.)

I’ve read that Anand Jon Alexander is a card carrying ‘South Asia’nite. Shouldn’t he be identified with his preferred allegiance, i.e. as “South-Asia-born (serial rapist) fashion designer” instead of as being “Indian born?”

hoping anand gets 59 years of the same thing he did to the girls.

and if you don't know the difference b/t parole and payroll, you probably shouldn't be commenting on this site.

Pay roll you mean parole. The guy was a scumbag for real, 59 years is rough but hey he should have left them young girls alone. Dude is a predator.

The biggest mistake he did was had sex with kids..but still i feel he shoudl have been given prision for 10 years or 15 makes sense. with no possiblity of payroll..

I hope the Indian media does not get stupid and start playing along with Jon and his family. The "race card" is so stupid albeit the only option left with Jon.

and for all the three not firing their lawyers and defending themselves, I will say "Good Riddance"
