Why do so many criminals waive their right to an attorney?
In a lot of real court videos, police interrogation videos, and true crime shows, we see the suspect waive their right to legal representation even though it's well known that waiving that right has no benefits and only downsides. Why would so many people (a majority I feel like, if we go by just my limited sample size of videos) intentionally shoot themselves in the foot? What exactly are they trying to do?
