A Superior Court judge this morning threatened to throw immigrant-rights activist Nativo Lopez back in jail if he doesn't stop with the legal gibberish.
Lopez, a recalled former Santa Ana schools trustee, faces eight voter fraud-related charges stemming from changing his voting address in 2008 from his Santa Ana home to the Boyle Heights office of Hermandad Mexicana Latinoamericana, a group he heads. He's alleged to have voted in L.A. County despite still living in Orange County.
Lopez is serving as his own attorney and Judge George G. Lomeli showed little patience with his unorthodox defense.
"If you continue your behavior, if you continue to disrupt this court with your nonsensical comments, the court will remand you into custody," Judge George G. Lomeli told Lopez at his mental competency hearing in Los Angeles today.
If Lomeli wasn't impressed with Lopez, the feeling appeared mutual.
"He got belligerent, threatening to arrest me for just asking a question," said Lopez, who had repeatedly told the judge, "I accept your dishonor."
