In civil cases, BTK has a fool for a lawyer

Given the notoriously bad grammar and spelling that Dennis Rader displayed in BTK’s taunting letters to media and authorities, it was startling to see an opposing attorney in the civil lawsuits describe as “picture perfect” Rader’s notice to the court that he would be defending himself. Still, what they always say about defendants who represent themselves surely applies here. The confessed serial killer probably figures he has nothing left to lose — and lots of hours to fill.
