WA: stuck with each other

From the TNT:

Mall shooter must keep his lawyer:

The 20-year-old man who shot seven people at the Tacoma Mall in November will have to deal with the lawyer he has, like it or not.

Pierce County Superior Court Judge Linda Lee denied Dominick Sergio Maldonado’s motion for a new attorney Friday afternoon.

“I think we’ve established, Mr. Maldonado, you don’t have legal training to make your own shots,” Lee told Maldonado. “You do not know the law. The defendant’s motion for a new attorney is denied.”


Maybe "make your own shots" wasn't the best turn of phrase for this case.
