SAN RAFAEL — A judge has ruled that Marin County will not pay for a legal advisor for a serial killing suspect who is representing himself in his murder trial.
Joseph Naso is charged in the killings of four Northern California prostitutes in the 1970s and 1990s, including two women whose bodies were dumped in the East Bay.
Naso initially chose to represent himself, but later sought a legal advisor, saying his incarceration has limited his ability to do legal research. He also said he wasn’t able to access funds to pay for a lawyer.
But Marin County Superior Court Judge Andrew Sweet ruled Friday that the 77-year-old Naso has enough money to pay for his own lawyer.
