A man accused of shooting three people to death at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs told a judge on Wednesday that he does not trust his lawyers and wants to represent himself. “Planned Parenthood and my lawyer are in cahoots because they don’t want the truth to come out”, he said.
Prosecutors objected to the competency evaluation, arguing that Dear understands what is going on. King has voiced “serious concerns” about Dear’s mental competency, which was supposed to be one of the topics of Wednesday’s hearing.
At a court appearance earlier this month, Dear had outbursts and called himself “guilty” and a “warrior for babies”.
The Associated Press and other news outlets want a judge to unseal arrest and search warrants in the case.
“How can I trust him when he says in the newspaper that I’m ‘incompetent?'” Dear, a SC native who once earned a living as a self-employed art salesman, asked the judge. He spent most of his life in North and SC before recently moving to an isolated community in Colorado’s mountains, where he lived in a trailer with no electricity.

He also said his attorney, Daniel King, who also represented Aurora theater shooter James Holmes, “drugged” Holmes, and “he wants to do that to me”.
