A man accused of participating in the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol is representing himself in court and has reportedly demanded to be paid $5 million if he is asked to provide samples of "bodily fluids."
Eric Bochene, 49, recently fired his public defender and is now representing himself while demanding millions of dollars in payment, according to The Post-Standard. The New Hartford, New York man reportedly cited the cost of court fees and payments that he believes would have gone to his court-appointed attorneyalthough public defenders typically do not rake in millions of dollars for defending a single client.
Bochene is said to equate representing himself in court to doing "business" and is demanding a fee of $10,000 per 30-minute court appearance, or $50,000 if the appearance is "under duress." For each hour of research, he says the court must pay him $500, or $50,000 under duress.
The largest fees, all due within 15 days of invoice, are penalties reportedly $6 million to be paid if he believes there was an attempt to forge a signature or, bizarrely, $5 million for an unexplained "forced giving of bodily fluids."
