Canadian 'hatchet-wielding hitchhiker' pleads not guilty

A man who gained Internet fame as "Kai the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker" appeared confused when he appeared in court Monday and questioned a judge and a lawyer over how the legal process works.

Caleb McGillivary, 24, is accused of killing 73-year-old lawyer Joseph Galfy, whose body was found May 13 in his Clark home.

During an appearance Monday in a Union County jail courtroom, McGillivary questioned Judge Brenda Coppola Cuba about his plea and bail. He stood, hands shackled, in a part of the courtroom enclosed by thick glass.

McGillivary appeared confused about the charges against him and the legal process. He asked the judge to "elaborate" on the charges, and asked if he would be able to "postpone the plea" if he were represented by a private lawyer.
