Looks like Craig Cobb is not cooperative with his appointed attorneys. This is surprising, given that he has asserted in the past that he was going to represent himself; apparently he changed his mind. Those attorneys who are appointed to defend him have quit. His new court date is January 13th. In the interim, he appears to be remaining in custody in the nearest mental hospital, which seems appropriate, given his nutso hateful beliefs.
From WDAY, Fargo:
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A court hearing for a white supremacist who
allegedly terrorized residents of a small North Dakota town he's trying
to turn into an Aryan enclave has been rescheduled.
Court documents show that Craig Cobb's preliminary hearing set for Monday has been rescheduled to Jan. 13 because his court-appointed public defender has withdrawn from the case.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that it is the third time an appointed public defender has asked to withdraw. A new attorney must now be appointed for Cobb.
Cobb is at the state hospital in Jamestown, where he was taken late last month after starving himself in jail in what he said was an effort to seek spiritual enlightenment.
The 62-year-old Cobb and another man are accused of terrorizing residents of Leith with guns Nov. 16.
