Suitcase murder defendant Sarah Boone could be having a way better time representing herself ahead of her trial.

“I am thoroughly confused,” she told Judge Wayne Wooten in a hearing on Thursday, according to Fox’s Orlando affiliate WOFL. She claimed she was caught off guard by the hearing. “If I’m pro se and my own attorney, shouldn’t I be included in all of this, so I know what’s going on and not a surprise hearing like it is again for the second time?””

Wooten voiced little patience for her complaint, however.

“Ma’am, again, this is why there were benefits to being represented by counsel,” he reportedly said. “The court has already identified in its 16-page order the reasons for why you no longer have those benefits. It makes things exceptionally more difficult, as I explained to you in communicating with the court and communicating with the State Attorney’s Office.”
