Self-Representing Killer in Court | Honolulu News

A thirty-year-old man, London Opendack, is locked in a high-stakes courtroom battle after allegedly attacking his parents with a hammer—charges he denies but refuses to surrender his right to self-represent.

Opendack’s defiance—speaking over the court, rejecting examiners, and demanding bail—only deepens the legal and psychological maze.
