"I thought they deserved a lift. They were maybe a bit rattled, though in good spirits overall," he said.
Arraignment
"I'd like to waive the right to have an attorney," Leong told the court yesterday. "I'd like no lawyer." Leong swayed back and forth and muttered to himself during most of the hearing.
Carol Beck, Leong's court-appointed public defender, said afterward that her client was "obviously mentally ill."
She said after the arraignment because of "a question of his competency," Leong has been committed to a 20-day competency evaluation at the Erich Lindemann Mental Health Center in Boston.
The court reserved the right to appoint a "shadow counsel" despite Leong's efforts to decline representation.
Leong is scheduled to reappear in court for a pre-trial hearing Feb. 6.
