Is Representing yourself in cases like this a wise idea?

https://www.businessinsider.com/capitol-riot-defendants-are-representing-themselves-2021-10 At least 5 Capitol riot defendants are representing themselves, including one who sent a billing schedule to the court

Several Capitol riot defendants are betting on themselves as they head to trial, despite a lack of legal expertise and warnings from judges, both implicit and explicit.

At least five people charged in relation to the January 6 Capitol attack have waived their right to a formally-trained attorney in favor of defending themselves, according to The Associated Press.

Maybe if you attended law school but never took the bar it would be okay.

@WowwGirl Im waiting on her response. I think its a bad idea...

[WowwGirl]

I think she'd agree

[legalboxers]

@WowwGirl they would incriminate themselves

[Gwenhwyfar]

She agrees. I’m a practicing attorney and I would never represent myself if I had any other choice. That being said, Jackie DeNoscia did amazingly well representing himself in that big mob trial Alito prosecuted back in the Nineties and actually got himself off. Of course the fact that there were 23 famous lawyers representing the other 23 defendants probably helped.
